Opinion

Dear Editor, I refer to my letter of yesterday’s date headlined `Advisory Committee on border case is considering pleadings to be prepared and the Counsel and Advocates will be geared for all relevant eventualities’ topic which includes a sentence that reads as follows: “My office would be only too happy to share this material with Dr Ramcharan”.

On the last day of 2020, former President David Granger in his capacity as Leader of the PNCR provided a lengthy account of his government’s stewardship between 2015 and 2020.

Dear Editor, In his contributions to the Sunday Stabroek and Stabroek  News on 20th  and 28th  December respectively, Dr Bertrand Ramcharan has questioned, by way of a full page contribution not shared with the Ministry by the Editor before publication, in surprisingly strong terms, the decision of the International Court of Justice regarding Guyana’s complaint.

Dear Editor, As a former Minister of Home Affairs, I am moved to express publicly, my concern over the current state of affairs in respect to the controversy that is now in the public domain concerning the promotion of senior ranks of the Guyana Police Force (GPF).

Dear Editor, It is now an established fact of life here, an inseparable aspect of Guyana’s political culture, that when a party succeeds at the polls, their own people have to be taken care of first. 

Dear Editor, I refer to the SN letter `Headline on 11-year-old girl was abhorrent’ on January 1, 2021.

Dear Editor, The Kaieteur News’ front-page headline of January 01 blared that the “Gas-to-shore project, a recipe for bankruptcy” and went on to quote a “US Financial Expert” who shared a very pessimistic view about the viability of any proposed gas to shore project being executed by the government of Guyana.

Dear Editor, I can appreciate the recent comments in the news concerning the lack of confidence in making a gas pipeline profitable when compared to renewables.

President Irfaan Ali didn’t have a great deal to say in his New Year message to Guyanese, but then that was probably the most prudent approach he could have adopted.

Dear Editor, It was horrifying to recently read a Demerara Waves  headline declaring that an “11 year-old girl was sexually active”.

Dear Editor, It is agreed that 2020 was “The year the earth stood still”  (SN Dec 31), but we are making a turn for the better as we close it.

Dear Editor, The year 2020 was a year of struggles, testing, trauma, loss, anxiety, fears etc.

Dear Editor,  So the forensic report on the Demerara Harbour Bridge Asphalt Plant has been submitted and has come up with a big fat nothing, only that the wild allegations  are “possible”.
