Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Again we have a much touted engineering project failing – it reminds me of the Charity Wharf floating away.

Dear Editor, As Guyanese wait around on the political merry-go-round to grind out a date for the next elections, we are seeing: tensions rising and racial politics playing a greater role (as usual); consumerism on the decline which is indicative of generally poor performance in the economy- due to peoples’ uncertainty about the future; loan rates still comparatively high so as to stymie the growth of start-up businesses and expansions of established business enterprises – leaving entrepreneurs with great business ideas in the twilight zone of Guyanese politics; and the most hurtful of all – people by the droves fleeing these shores for a better life somewhere else because of fear of the future which Guyanese politics has and is nurturing. 

Dear Editor, We have mourned enough for Guyana in recent months, we have shed enough tears for a country we love and a system of democracy that we have grown so accustomed to since October 5, 1992. 

Dear Editor, The wise saying “A stitch in time saves nine”, should be heeded as sage advice.

Dear Editor, Does the caretaker government have the legal authority to make a donation to hurricane-hit Bahamas as it did on the recent telethon?

Dear Editor, The insistence of David Granger that GECOM must advise him on the best possible date for credible elections to avoid recklessness and irresponsibility is risible resting on the lame under-view rather than the overview of the crisis gripping the nation.

Dear Editor, At the recent launch of ‘indigenous heritage month’ Sydney Allicock is reported as saying that, “…claims for ancestral lands which our foreparents used from times (sic) immemorial to hunt, fish and farm” now need to be supported by a village improvement plan.

Dear Editor, I refer to the letter by Kit Nascimento in your Tuesday September 17, 2019 edition referring to his issues with the physical works on Sheriff Street.

Dear Editor, On the 8th September a report by online magazine Petroleum Economist attributed new discoveries to Government of Guyana official Owen Verwey “There have been some big discoveries and, by next Friday, we will be announcing another one… We are one of the hottest destinations for the oil and gas industry right now and that is set to continue,” this statement was made during an address at the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Offshore Europe Conference and Exhibition in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Dear Editor, My question will be very short. I just wish to know who will be held accountable when an accident occurs on the corner of Alexander and Charlotte streets.

Dear Editor, Local content is the current rage. Guyanese should get more (I agree).

Dear Editor, I applaud the Chairman of ANUG, Mr. Timothy Jonas, for having the courage to raise what is a controversial and problematic issue, that is, the issue of migration to Guyana and the process by which foreign nationals can obtain citizenship (SN 15/9/19).

Dear Editor, The three months rule (after the passage of a no confidence motion) for an election expires today.

Dear Editor, The NALCO Champion episode has exposed several glaring structural deficiencies in the decision making apparatus in Guyana.

Dear Editor, I wish to offer a response to Mr. Timothy Jonas, member of the political party ‘A New and United Guyana’ (ANUG), who wrote a letter to Stabroek News on Sunday 15th September, with the given title, `Cease all grants of citizenship to foreigners until stringent and clear criteria agreed.’

Dear Editor, I note with considerable interest that the Ministry of Public Infrastructure has called in the contractor for the Sheriff Street expansion with regard to traffic management, but, clearly, to no avail.

Dear Editor, Things are rough here.  As Guyanese would say forlornly: ting baaad. 

Dear Editor, Permit me to share a situation which was brought to my attention recently thus prompting me to write some thoughts regarding the apparent necessity for an attitudinal metamorphosis within our nation’s younger labour grouping.

 Dear Editor,  Think back to when you were around 14 year olds, the absolute beginning of your formative years.

Dear Editor,  There are gaps in the US economic system that tweets cannot fill.
