Dear Editor,
I have seen the reports in the newspapers about the Governor of Roraima, Brazil mounting the PPP/C campaign platform, an act which is contrary to all international diplomatic norms, and whilst I understand that the opposition political parties are outraged by this act, I actually would like to add another dimension to this matter.
Dear Editor,
The issuance of a statement by the Federal Government of Brazil through its diplomatic mission in Georgetown reiterating its respect for Guyana’s sovereignty and making its neutrality clear about the upcoming national elections is a welcome and masterful use of public diplomacy.
Dear Editor,
The spending by the government of $37 million on the eve of elections to acquire a water cannon which it earlier claimed is intended to deal with demonstrators, reveals an ugly underbelly that must be exposed.
Dear Editor,
I am writing to express my total disgust at the way in which the ruling elite – led by Mr Jagdeo and his appointed adviser, now the presidential candidate, Mr Donald Ramotar, have completely violated all the civilized rules and regulations governing a fair and free election to be held on November 28.
Dear Editor,
I regret inadvertently identifying Mr Seelochan Beharry as a candidate of the AFC and a former member of the PPP as he pointed out in his letter ‘Bisram’s letter contains two major errors‘ (SN, Nov 9).
Dear Editor,
Having read Mr Vishnu Bisram’s letter in Stabroek News of November 7 (‘I attended the India Day Parade as a reporter’), I would like to point out an obvious omission.
Dear Editor,
Ganesh Singh says PPP supporters must vote out the PPP for one term to generate the badly need internal change the PPP needs in order to be reformed and reborn and to allow new leadership to rise within the party.
Dear Editor,
I read with absolute horror the news report that the Governor of a neighbouring superpower was invited to be present at and speak on the platform of one of the parties contesting the upcoming elections.
Dear Editor,
I am intrigued by the statement (SN, November 8) attributed to Mr Robert Persaud, Minister of Agriculture/ Campaign Manager of the PPP/C on the current exchanges on the Former Presidents (Benefits and Other Facili-ties) Act 2009.
Dear Editor,
Mr Christopher Ram’s letter in SN titled ‘Region 9 flood relief was distributed through the PPP/C party office‘ has covered a most important point that was being queried by residents of Lethem.
