Dear Editor, I would like to comment on your article in Saturday’s, July 27th Stabroek News titled `Advanced City Surveillance System Unveiled’.

Dear Editor, Let’s call an ax an ax. Both General Elections (GE) statistics since 1992 and the unilateralism of Jagdeo do not suppport a PPP victory.

Dear Editor, No more walkouts.  Free and fair elections.  So said chairwoman, Judge Claudette Singh, of Gecom. 

Dear Editor, This coming Thursday, the 1st of August 2019, is “Emancipation Day” – the day on which we celebrate the anniversary of the 1834/1838 abolition of slavery in the British Empire.

Dear Editor, The Carter Center Report entitled “Observing Guyana’s Electoral Process, 1990-1992” and published on its website is extremely important and instructive as the debate and battle over the house to house registration exercise rages.

Dear Editor,  As an earnest tax paying citizen of Georgetown, can the Council inform us when the current Mayor and Councillors of the City of Georgetown will embark upon correcting the wrongs and repairing the extensive damage that was willfully done to our capital city by a former senior administrative municipal staffer? 

Dear Editor, I would like to know why it is so difficult if not impossible for the Georgetown Municipality to get its financial systems in order.

Dear Editor, The leadership of the Alliance For Change (AFC), all by itself, has squandered the grand opportunity given it by the citizens of Guyana in 2015.

Dear Editor, It is worthy of note that after several meetings involving their high representatives and between His Excellency the President and the Leader of the Opposition, a consensus Chair of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) was appointed on Friday, July 26, 2019 by His Excellency the President. 

Dear Editor, With a chair now in the hot seat, there has to be rapid advancing through the pressurized learning curve of the burning issues on the table before Gecom, if only to recover some of the lost time. 

Dear Editor, It is with great reluctance that we write to you today in an effort to highlight the plight of staff of the Protected Areas Commission at the National Park.

Dear Editor, Discussing my ‘three line letters’ with some distinguished Guyanese in London last week, they seemed to be hitting the spot.

Dear Editor, After the tumultuous and troubling, a much-needed first step has been achieved and is now official: There is a chairperson. 

Dear Editor, Whatever transpired during the meeting between former President Jagdeo and President Granger behind closed doors and deciding on a new head for GECOM, I am happy like they both are that we have finally gotten over that hurdle towards elections 2019.

Dear Editor, Public Security Minister Khemraj Ramjattan made all the right noises at the recent Noise Management Training Programme for police officers.
