Dear Editor,
After reading your newspaper’s lead story yesterday, ‘Jagdeo ‘appreciation’ draws cheers and jeers,’ and then the state-owned Guyana Chronicle’s, ‘President urges national pride, healing of wounds of the past,’ I have to say thanks for a balanced report.
Dear Editor,
With reference to the Stabroek News letter dated Thursday, September 1, 2011, with the caption ‘Work done by contractors for GPL deficient,’ on September 7, one of the company’s senior metering technicians visited the premises of J Kadaru to verify the allegations made by the customer in your newspaper.
Dear Editor,
I was recently shown a copy of the Electricity Reform Act of 1999 which allows GPL the absolute power as a monopoly to deny their customers the legal right of bypass.
Dear Editor,
Reading Stabroek News’ editorial titled “The state of our schools” (SN, September 13), I checked the 2011 budget where I found $24.3 billion Guyana dollars spent on education in 2011.
Dear Editor,
Port Mourant Cricket Club executives and cricketers were very disappointed when the Berbice Cricket Board Selectors failed to select them given their outstanding individual performances.
Dear Editor,
I refer to Mr Christopher Ram’s letter published in SN on September16 titled ‘The killing of Adolphus James is an indictment of our society.’
Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter on Thursday, September 15, that is, on the eve of Appreciation Day for the contribution of President Jagdeo to the development of Guyana.
WikiLeaks’ decision to place sensitive diplomatic traffic completely within the public domain (following the inadvertent disclosure of codes used to encrypt the material) has prompted a number of heated debates around the world.
Dear Editor,
I thought long and hard about this decision to voice my opinion on the matter of President Jagdeo’s Appreciation Day, not because I have reservations about his merit, but because I do not wish to add dignity to what seems to be to be a rather unnecessary and puerile discussion on this matter.
Dear Editor,
I reiterate the AFC’s call to citizens to wear something black or put something black on their home or vehicle to show displeasure with the President’s Appreciation Day today.
Dear Editor,
As I sat in the black-out that engulfed the city on Wednesday night, it dawned on me that after 12 years (the longest serving President) Bharrat Jagdeo and his regime were unable to do something as basic as keeping the lights on.
The recent statement by Foreign Minister Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett that Guyana has made a full submission of a claim to an extended continental shelf to the United Nations, in accordance with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), has elicited an interesting pair of responses in Venezuela – or rather, one interesting response and one interesting non-response.
