Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,  The Government of Guyana must be commended for the work that is being done to improve the road network across the country, especially the farm to market access roads.

Dear Editor, ​The NGSA is just a few days away. Parents are busy ensuring that their children are fully prepared for the big day.

Dear Editor, The Bank of Guyana’s recent injections of US$35 million and US$100 million into the foreign exchange market have raised eyebrows.

Dear Editor, Since the tariffs were first announced, I heard President Trump on YouTube saying that Guyana had a massive trade imbalance with the US since we are exporting US$5 billion to the US, whilst only importing about US$1 billion from the USA.

Dear Editor, The candidates for export diversification in the Caribbean are the products and services that these countries are able to market successfully in North America, Europe and elsewhere, in competition with other international suppliers.

Dear Editor, In public office, impartiality and fairness must be the guiding principles of every decision.

Dear Editor, As the People’s National Congress/Reform (PNCR) and Alliance For Change (AFC) consult, deliberate and negotiate on the best leadership team and the best terms for the Coalition government, as well as best model for the Presidential and Prime Ministerial candidates, I would like to further propose the following.

Dear Editor, I have known Bro Eusi for decades. I first met him in my teenage years through my mother, Margaret Ackman-John, who was then active in the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) alongside youthful figures such as Ina Solomon, Joyce Heywood, and Evelyn Adams.

Dear Editor, I  dictated this letter, after speaking with persons from the Linden community after the second fatal shooting within twenty-four hours.

Dear Editor, Petrostates by definition live or die by petroleum. When prices are high, and, for good measure rising, petrostates prosper, and when prices crash, they suffer (closest regional examples are Ecuador, Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago during the last commodity super-cycle). 

Dear Editor, From time to time, we would have heard talk about the need for adherence to the rules-based multilateral trading system in international relations.

Dear Editor, A tariff is a tax. It is a tax imposed by Government on goods imported into, and occasionally exported from, a country.

​Dear Editor, I, a pensioner, did not receive my $30,000 subsidy for 2025 from GPL and stopped getting the 10 cubic meter water from GWI for 2025.

Dear Editor, I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the conspicuous silence of our business associations in the ongoing tax dispute between the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Mohamed’s Enterprises.

Dear Editor, The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) has its work to do, but has done it poorly so far in the instance of the Mohamed family.

Dear Editor, The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) regime can allocate all the money it wants to regional and local democratic councils, but until the autonomy of these authorities is truly respected, as outlined in the Constitution of Guyana, we are going nowhere.

Dear Editor, In politics, as in life, timing is everything. And in this critical hour of Guyana’s history—when our democracy is under siege, incompetence is putting our national interest at risk, and rampant corruption is rapidly eroding the financial security of the Guyanese people—we need a leader with integrity, guile, fortitude, honesty, and strength.

Dear Editor, As I continue to engage with the average Guyanese citizen—and in particular, our local fisherfolk—there is a growing concern about the potential impact of oil spills and pollution arising from offshore drilling activities.

Dear Editor, It appears to me that Guyana has slipped further downward!

Dear Editor, Justice Roxanne George, in her latest High Court ruling, is reported as lamenting that the country’s election laws are all over the place.
