Dear Editor, The recent strange statement by the Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Ms.

Dear Editor, I am writing to shed light on the importance of interdisciplinary practices in supporting learners with special needs, particularly in the context of psycho-educational assessments.

Dear Editor, Driving at nights is becoming so much more difficult and unpleasant because majority of vehicle owners are replacing their original headlights with these white & sometimes blue LED headlights.

Dear Editor, Several critical projects under the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development have been delayed for months, with some even stretching into years, yet a shocking misrepresentation of the situation was presented during the infamous 5:30am meeting held by President Irfaan Ali at State House.

Dear Editor, I watched the video where President Ali chewed up and spat out Ministers, Permanent Secretaries, engineers and other officials over a huge number of Government projects being four or more months behind schedule.

Dear Editor, The violence and trauma of Guyana’s plantation legacy were on show on Tuesday 12 Nov at the 5:30 am meeting at State House to discuss the lack of progress on projects.

Dear Editor, The cost of living in Guyana has soared to unprecedented levels, leaving many citizens struggling to make ends meet.

Dear Editor, In any society emerging out of the ravages of imperial domination, colonial exploitation and polarisation, the Minister, and Ministry responsible for Youth, Sport & Culture has a powerful and enabling role to play in harmonising a nation to bring light where there was darkness and understanding; to dispell the of many myths created over the past several generations in Guyana.

Dear Editor, On the morning of Tuesday, November 13, 2024, just after my devotion at approximately 05:45hrs, I decided to check in with my phone and read a  posting by Big Smith News Watch, ‘President Irfaan Ali this morning called a 5:30 meeting with Government Ministers, their Permanent Secretaries, their Engineers and Contractors at State House, his official residence in Georgetown.’

Dear Editor,  The level of foreign investment reported for the Caribbean in the most recent update from the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) does not augur well for the region’s future economic growth.

Dear Editor, For someone who writes to the editor a lot, Mr Keith Bernard, judging from his letter in SN of 12 November (under the title “How many more strategic meetings must the PNCR have before they learn that spin doesn’t win elections”), could justifiably be accused of insufficient reading or, possibly, of having a political axe to grind.

Dear Editor, Leading up to the May 5, 2015, regional and national elections in Guyana, several PPP/C supporters advanced a theory that America was likely to interfere with the 2015 elections.

Dear Editor, Three weeks ago, I was silent when an interviewer visiting me said off the cuff, “Guyana does not need another hospital.”
