Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I share some quick thoughts on three issues percolating currently. 

  Dear Editor, Ministers Volda Lawrence and Keith Scott are self-serving and contemptuous of workers.

Dear Editor, The following quote is taken from the then APNU+AFC’s manifesto statement:  “This APNU+AFC Coalition’s Manifesto prescribes a unified approach to bring an end to the cronyism at high levels that is a drain on our financial resources and is blocking our development; to crime, that is bleeding the lives and bodies of our women and youths and scaring away investors; to corruption in the law-enforcement and regulatory agencies in the mining and forestry sectors and to constitutional abuse by the President, Cabinet and executive branch of the government.”

Dear Editor, A situation exists at the University of Guyana where dozens of graduate students pursuing a Master of Education degree at the School of Education and Humanities have been in limbo, without completing their second degrees.

Dear Editor, For quite a while now I’ve been observing various business entities supporting cultural and religious events and there is one snackette which seems to support almost all events.

Dear Editor, What a game! It hurt not to be able to see it on TV in Toronto.

Dear Editor, On Saturday night I was still relishing the West Indies T20 win against India, when it dawned on me that in some ways, history had repeated itself. 

Dear Editor, It has always bothered me how governments tend to become most stingy when it comes to paying workers a living wage. 

Dear Editor, Thanks to Livestream many of us in the diaspora get the opportunity to watch parliamentary proceedings live.

Dear Editor, The APNU+AFC government’s final offer on wages and salaries increases for public servants for 2016 is disappointing and leaves much to be desired.

Dear Editor, In a recent conversation with a young relative, she lamented to me that she, a qualified teacher, was looking to return to the profession but was having much difficulty.

Dear Editor, I refer to your headline in the Friday August 26 edition of the Stabroek News: ‘Parking meters company recruiting staff -though city still to act on damning findings about contract.’

Dear Editor, Former West Indies and Guyana star batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul who has been sidelined by the selectors is now training to be a cricket coach.

Dear Editor, In my estimation, cartoonist Paul Harris, in stepping into the large shoes of his father before him, Hawley Harris, has ably carried on the lofty standards of acute perception of events and remarkable extrapolation that were set for him –that is, until I saw his rendition last Monday, poking fun at something as highly regarded over the years as the National Art Gallery.

Dear Editor, The Acting Commissioner of Police is responding to a letter in the Stabroek News edition of Thursday, August 25, 2016, under the caption ‘Why do police close the road for Waterworld events denying access to Perseverance residents?’

Dear Editor, I hope against hope that the Vice-Chancellor gets his request for much increased funding agreed by government.

Dear Editor, The nation continues to reel from the shock generated by the $12.5 million per month rental of a storage bond at Sussex Street, Charlestown, Georgetown by the Ministry of Public Health for a fixed term of 3 years.

Dear Editor, I refer to the editorial titled ‘Vigilantism’ (SN, August 26). 

Dear Editor, I saw a photo of the PPP picketing the High Court in Stabroek News of August 24, demanding the expedition of the elections petition, because they claimed the poll was fraudulent and they won the elections.

Dear Editor, This concept of power sharing has been around for many years now ‒ at least 30 years.
