Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Stabroek News is one of the most trusted, impartial and well-respected media houses in Guyana.

Dear Editor, In light of the unusually high tides and the overtopping of the sea defences along coastal areas especially on the West Coast of Demerara and the possibility of flooding, the Ministry of Public Health is advising that special attention be placed on health, personal hygiene, vector control, food and water safety to avoid adverse effects of flooding.

Dear Editor, SN spoke. Too sharply. The government came right back at it, even sharper and louder.

Dear Editor,    The recent oil spill on the northern coast of Brazil, which impacted several beaches is a very stark reminder of the fragility of our developing oil industry.

Dear Editor,  This letter reaches you from the voice of a concerned 14 year old youth who cares and loves Guyana and is worried about what is happening to this beautiful and fruitful land.

Dear Editor, A few weeks ago, because of my native appreciation of our Creolese and because I detected solid intent and strategic determination by His Excellency, I quoted his reported declaration: “Cause I en leffing fuh juss now”.

Dear Editor, I read with great interest your article dated Sept 22nd, 2019 entitled `Internal spat escalates between officials of Table Tennis Association – VP writes local international bodies seeking intervention’. 

Dear Editor, Interest in the issue of the no-confidence motion and elections as a consequence, goes beyond APNU+AFC, PPP, David Granger and Bharrat Jagdeo; it is of interest to the people of Guyana and all those who are likely to be impacted, regionally and further afield.

Dear Editor, Under the headline, ‘Broomes raps Bartica police over call for help’, (SN: 10/09/19), the Stabroek News reported and, I quote, “I heard this woman screaming for help in a different tone and language.

Dear Editor, After months of political uncertainty regarding the date for general and regional elections, there are now some encouraging signs that the Guyanese electorate will head to the polls on March 2nd, 2020.

Dear Editor, Guyanese have neither time nor interest for any news, other than elections news.

Dear Editor, On Thursday, I was astonished by a report on an online news agency under the headline; “US$2.2M contract signed for Kato Hydropower project”.

Dear Editor, We refer to the Business Editorial appearing in Stabroek News of September 27, 2019, entitled `The PSC must embrace the entire business sector’. 

Dear Editor, I taught at the Sophia Special School for about a year during the 1990s, and can attest to the fact that students aggressively confronting and threatening teachers were  regular occurrences.

Dear Editor, Even though there has been a political “progress” in Guyana in that general elections will be on March 2, 2020, we are not out of the woods.

Dear Editor, The life of the National Assembly ended on 18 September 2019 as a result of the non-extension of its life by a two-thirds vote as required by the Constitution for such extended period as determined by the National Assembly.

Dear Editor, There has been much concern about the conditions associated with the March 2nd date for elections.

Dear Editor, This is the “silly” season and true to form, we are witnessing political promises that make no sense from a national development standpoint – free tertiary education, forgiveness of student loans, and establishment of a law school. 

Dear Editor, Politics in Guyana has gone through a series of rapid changes over the last one hundred years, from a former expansionist government of the then British colonial empire, to a self-sustaining, independent and democratic government.

Dear Editor, Mr. Granger finally yesterday  called the elections for March 2, 2020.
