Tomorrow will mark forty years since the assassination of Dr Walter Rodney in a car parked outside the Georgetown prison.

Dear Editor, I write in response to your Letter page of the 24th May 2020 captioned: `Sloths, other animals, being traded from Mabaruma in breach of closed season’. 

Dear Editor, It appears that, ceteris paribus, the PPP/C will be back in power, emphasis on the word back since politics in Guyana is all about regurgitating the same old cud on different days.

Dear Editor, The Recount of the ballots for the March 2nd General and Regional Elections, which were held over three months ago, has been finally completed.

Dear Editor, The bank, of which I was a member since its establishment in this country, has just peremptorily advised that my cheques would no longer be honoured if the payee is not also a member.

Dear Editor, General Secretary (GS) of the PPP Bharrat Jagdeo knows there is no result that he has seen so far emanating from the National Recount that can make him rejoice.

Dear Editor, I write in response to the former Prime Minister Mr Samuel A.A.

Dear Editor, In light of the Black Lives Matter protests happening across the world, and the reevaluation, revision, and removal, of statues and other monuments that celebrate and pay homage to political figures who were notorious for advocating for, advancing, and establishing colonialism and all of its offshoots, which include enslavement and racism, I think that it is vital that the people of Guyana are also allowed to be a part of this rising global conversation and this movement that seeks to reshape and refocus elements of national pride, heroes, and the personalities from history that we pay homage to, through the removal of contentious statues and monuments.

When the results of the General and Regional Elections are finally announced at the culmination of the processes following the recount of votes, hopefully in the very near future, it will be difficult, if not impossible to put behind us all of the shenanigans that delayed and disrupted what should have been a smooth process.

Dear Editor, It would appear some sections of the populace think it is the foreign powers which handed the PPP victory or aided and abetted its victory, attested to by unofficial results.

Dear Editor, In a previous letter (published by SN on 2020/04/19) I asked if there was any chance that Mr Granger and APNU+AFC will accept the results of the recount and exit gracefully.

Dear Editor, It is now an accepted fact that David Granger has breached the Constitution of Guyana in his relatively short reign as President more than any other President.

Dear Editor, Permit me to piggyback on the laudable and eloquent letter, `We collectively raise our voices in condemning the murder of George Floyd,’ (SN, June 7), written by a group of Guyanese.

Dear Editor, “I can’t breathe” and it’s not Floyd’s cries heard worldwide but the state of our burial ground the Le Repentir which is a national disgrace.

Dear Editor, Despite the evident triumphalism by the PPP and its supporters,  the only real news emerging from the recount exercise is that the 2020 elections were riddled with irregularities which in effect amounts to fraud.

Dear Editor, Dr  Ian McDonald, a columnist of the Sunday Stabroek who has rarely written on Guyana’s politics, must have been thoroughly peeved to take the unusual step to pen his article “Something rotten in the State”, Stabroek News, May 10, 2020.
