Dear Editor, Yesterday’s Stabroek News carried an article entitled `Guyana regressing from stewards of natural resources to squanderers’ .

Dear Editor, A few days ago a young girl was horrifically killed in the blossoming of her youth.  

Dear Editor, Your columns, over the recent weeks, have been replete with heated debate surrounding: the performance of the Vice-Chancellor of UG; his related employment contract; the legal status of the contending UG Unions; the decision-making process of the UG Council – all overtaken by the advice of the overseeing GTUC, via its President.

Dear Editor, I write to add my personal tribute to Andaiye whom I was fortunate to know from my teenage years, as she was a friend of my father’s.

Dear Editor, I am pleased to address you with regards to the Editorial `Chagos Islands’, published on May 26, 2019 in your newspaper, where erroneous statements are made regarding the question of the Malvinas.

Dear Editor,  The following response is to a letter `Unless there is a change in GTUC’s stance on university matters, UG unions will withdraw from it’ emanating from the UGSSA and UGWU that was published in the Stabroek News of 30th May, 2019.

Dear Editor, One of the features of our country’s history is the role that the media played in political developments.

Dear Editor, Now that the largesse from our oil riches is about to make its appearance in the country’s coffers and perhaps pockets of some, the clamour for a share of national endowment as a matter of ancestral right is becoming more frequent and getting louder and more insistent.

Dear Editor, In a letter on me published in this newspaper on June 2, Lincoln Lewis wrote: “It is becoming more evident that Kissoon is behind the confusion in the University of Guyana (UG) industrial environment.

Dear Editor,  An outstanding African-Guyanese freedom fighter and revolutionary has made the transition.

Dear Editor, Yesterday I read with great interest in the Stabroek News that the `City Chamber Head says SARA probe of oil blocks `waste of time.’’

Dear Editor, The failure of ‘the police’ to immediately respond to reports of various transgressions continues to be blamed on the non-availability of police vehicles.

Dear Editor, Please permit me, through you, to ask either our Police Commissioner, Traffic Chief, or even our Minister of Public Security a few questions in the light of recent events.

Dear Editor, The Guyana Police Force has in the short space of two weeks been engaged in shoot-outs with bandits with similar results, three dead bandits in Black Bush Polder and three in Norton Street. 

Dear Editor, The US State Department Travel Advisory for Guyana was short but impressive. 

Dear Editor, I join Nigel Westmaas and Clement Rohee (SN June 2) in paying rich tribute to Sister Andaiye who lost her battle against cancer.
