Dear Editor, I join the handful of Caribbean citizens who have called on CARICOM to issue an official statement on the breach of the Guyanese Constitution and of the ruling by the Caribbean Court of Justice to hold elections no later than 18 September 2019.

Dear Editor, In this our beloved country of Guyana today poverty is causing all sorts of problems for many persons.

One of the casualties of development and changes in society is the irretrievable loss of traditions and customs. 

Dear Editor, I feel compelled to offer my comments to a long but well-scribed statement emanating from A New and United Guyana (ANUG).

Dear Editor, I count myself not exactly as Allan Fenty puts it in his letter in SN yesterday, “as among the mass of people who are in full congratulatory mode over PNC Leader David Granger’s guile of current success and triumph.”

Dear Editor, The Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) in the strongest possible term expresses concern about the out of order statement issued on Thursday by the United States, United Kingdom and European Union as to when an election can be held following the Caribbean Court of Justice’s (CCJ) ruling on 18th June 2019 that the 21st December 2018 no-confidence vote was validly passed.

Dear Editor, The recent interview on NCN’s ‘Insight’ dated Tuesday, September 17th 2019 with Mayor of Georgetown, Ubraj Narine provides a perspective that is revealing in many ways.

Now that it has become clear that Guyana is well on the way towards beginning to build an oil and gas industry, Trinidad and Tobago has done nothing to conceal its intention to take advantage of what it clearly sees as significant investment opportunities arising out of the various services that it is positioned to provide given its own considerable experience in and knowledge of the industry.

Dear Editor, I don’t know Mr. A.A. Fenty. By all accounts of people that I trust, he is a sincere and patriotic Guyanese, and a longstanding and committed supporter of the APNU.

Dear Editor, Thursday, September 19, 2019 was indeed an eventful day of progress and setbacks.

Dear Editor, I wish to ‘clear the air’ on the deliberate attempt by the illegal President, David Granger, to mischievously misrepresent the facts as it relates to Dr Karen Cummings during the PPP/C’s peaceful protest on Thursday, September 18 outside the Pegasus Hotel in Georgetown.

Dear Editor,  Joey Jagan’s proposal as captioned in his SN letter dated September 19, 2019, `Postpone elections and form a caretaker coalition with the PPP to create meaningful constitutional changes’ is an idea that is unrealistic at this time.

Dear Editor, I write this letter to share a brief reflection on a friend and a comrade.

Friday’s deportation from the US of convicted drug trafficker Roger Khan now places the onus on law enforcement authorities to conclude the requisite investigations into his activities here prior to his departure for Suriname in the middle of June 2006 where he was arrested and then taken into custody by the US authorities while transiting Trinidad and Tobago.

Dear Editor, This nation is fast descending into a state of madness enabled by those we have entrusted the responsibility to lead us.
