Letters to the Editor

GAWU’s principles of operation should be made clear to GuySuCo

Dear Editor, As the rational mind tries to understand the tactics of the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) in the context of the Guyana Sugar Corporation Inc (GuySuCo), it is to say the least worrying that the corporation has found itself in a business arrangement with a partner that has a totally different agenda.

Health sector linen should be kept clean and not washed again publicly

Dear Editor, Those who would have been attended by, and at the same time, have attended to the vagaries of the physical (and indeed mental) health of our ‘patient’ society, must at times be concerned as to whether the relevant decision-makers have been informed with sufficiently precise analyses to arrive at conclusions regarding the fault lines perceived in the public sector, and therefore to formulate equally precise solutions.

Can we agree on Guyana’s history?

Dear Editor, The prejudiced, deeply polarized politics of Guyana has its genesis in our country’s political history, starting from the time the PPP was split in 1955 and resulting in the creation of the PNC.

VAT and education services

Dear Editor, The previous version of Schedule I to the Value-Added Tax Act zero-rated “a supply of education services and educational materials” and provided definitions for both terms.

Aurora heritage site should be preserved

Dear Editor, I had planned to visit one of the oldest sugar estate heritage sites here on the Essequibo Coast, with Mr Tota  Mangar and Dr James Rose ‒ both are historians ‒ some 15 years ago when both men and I were at the  Devonshire Castle Martyrs’ Day wreath-laying  ceremony where 5 sugar workers were brutally gunned down in 1879.

What’s next?

Dear Editor It was noticeable that the AFC arm of the coalition government, whose representative sits on the city council in the form of the Deputy Mayor, who has been vocal on the parking meters and the manner in which this project was rolled out, was not at the meeting between government and city officials recently.

We the people are the bosses

Dear Editor,   On Thursday, February 9, I joined a massive protest at City Hall to oppose the Parking Meter Project which has recently been implemented in Georgetown.

Meter prices and penalties too high

Dear Editor, The parking meter project in the capital city of Georgetown has charges which are too steep and incurs penalties which are too high, especially for working-class Guyanese.
