Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The much needed and touted fare structure for Mini Buses and Hire Cars to have in their possession and to be displayed has been agreed on by the Ministry of Business and the Association and it must be  noted this was only after several letters were written to the editors of the major daily newspapers and published in the Letter Columns by yours truly, along with the Police starting to impound the Mini Buses both at Suddie and Anna Regina Police Station, that then and only then did the Association get going.

Dear Editor, The Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission, Retired Justice Claudette Singh must be commended for doing the right thing, namely to bring an end to the house to house registration which was unilaterally launched by the previous GECOM Chair.

Dear Editor, I wish to respond to Christopher Ram in his letter in SN of 28th August, where he calls on “the citizens of Guyana to ensure that Guyana’s democracy does not slip by a single day longer”, moreover “even if it means having to pay costs for our efforts to protect not only the Constitution but democracy.”

Dear Editor, Like everyone else, I heard yesterday of the passing of Peter Kempadoo in England. 

Dear Editor, Contrary to the erroneous impression given by the caption of Ms Lye’s Letter to the Editor in Stabroek News of August 27 `It is time for the ICJ to act’,  the Government of Guyana (GOG) is not awaiting a decision of the ICJ in order to enable Guyana to exploit the resources within its maritime space, its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
