Dear Editor, Guyana Power and Light on September 8 planted two high voltage electrical cables over my premises at Lot 1, Hydronie,  Parika East Bank  Essequibo in order to supply a housing scheme with electricity.

Dear Editor, “Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts/ Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight.” 

Dear Editor, The government’s Request for Proposals in early 2010 for the building of the access road to the Amaila Falls hydropower dam site called for an all-weather road for heavy traffic; 85 km of road rehabilitation; 110 km of new road; the whole 195 km of road, 20 metres wide, surfaced with a white-sand-clay base 300 mm thick topped by 150 mm of laterite, the whole compacted to 95 proctor; HDPE culverts, bridges and river-crossing pontoons capable of bearing 100 tonne loads, 20 tonnes per axle; 65 km x 100 metres wide completely cleared right-of-way for the transmission line; all to be completed within eight months/240 days from contract effectiveness date.

Dear Editor, With reference to the letter ‘US embassy officials accept and draw conclusions from any rumour presented to them’ (SN, September 18), it appears that the writer, Mr Urling, is misguided and has some dislike for the US Embassy in Georgetown and the US government.

History is replete with bizarre examples of political ambition taken to unfathomable extremes.

Dear Editor, The philistines are running amuck in my country. They are, true to form, simply enjoying a spurious opportunity lambasting the government, more especially the stalwart President Bharrat Jagdeo.

Politikles

Dear Editor, So we have had it, the staged show to chaperone the champion of poverty on his way out, while at the same time making it clear that his successor will ensure that he remains very much in command if (and this is a big if), the Guyanese people make that historical mistake of ever voting for the PPP again.

Dear Editor, Recently I read of an accident that took place on the access road leading to Mocha Arcadia.

Dear Editor, The Guyanese information networks are overloaded with an avalanche of propaganda attempting to portray Bharrat Jagdeo as  an omnipotent and benevolent leader and head of state in Guyana, Caricom and the globe.

Dear Editor, Due to loss of confidence in the representation provided by the Guyana Bauxite and General Workers Union (GB&GWU), which is the present certified union representing non-management employees of Oldendorff Carriers Guyana Inc, on February 2, 2011 over one hundred of the said employees sent an application to the Guyana Trade Union Recognition and Certification Board seeking the cancellation of the certificate of recognition issued to the GB&GWU.

Dear Editor, I came across a letter in the Stabroek News written by a Mr Ally where he mentions that the government is doing so much for Amerindians in this country.

Dear Editor, The feeling among Guyanese that the lawlessness and vulgarity that have come to characterize the PPP/C government cannot get any worse is constantly proven false by new excesses from the Jagdeo regime.

Considering that he is widely believed to have commandeered a death squad that eliminated dozens of suspected criminals and rivals while reputedly aiding in the fight against crime, it is not suprising that Mr Roger Khan’s connections with the government and senior government officials have come under scrutiny.

Dear Editor, Needless to say, I was disappointed that the National Assembly did not pass the motion I presented on the wilful transmission of HIV/AIDS to unsuspecting individuals.

Dear Editor, The so-called ‘President’s Apprecia-tion Day,’ held on Friday September 16 must surely be the most brazen of a series of acts of abuse of power and political corruption in the region.

Dear Editor, The President’s Appreciation Day is now over, but I suppose the discussions will continue, if not increase about whether or not such an event is appropriate.

Dear Editor, The only true revelation that emerged from the WikiLeaks cables is that the US practises an outdated and antiquated foreign policy towards Guyana.
