Dear Editor, The response by Opposition Member Mr. Roysdale Forde SC on the issue of a service of a summons on Rickford Burke (letter published 25th Dec, 2023) offers no solutions but seeks to confuse by raising ‘red herrings’. 

Dear Editor, By the time my missive reaches you we would have arrived probably at the 5th or 6th day of Christmas.

Dear Editor, To serve or not to serve, that is the question; now that the lawyers have had their say and are no doubt engaged in endless hours of research on the issue of whether a summons issued by a court in Guyana can be served in another country; that, in a nutshell, is the issue at hand.

Dear Editor, I write to express my grave concerns regarding the recent attempt by the Guyana Police Force (GPF) to serve a summons on Rickford Burke, a Guyanese citizen residing in the United States.

Dear Editor, It was shocking as it was painful, similar to the Mahdia fire, that early Christmas morn fire in the mining town which claimed three lives.

Dear Editor, The upcoming presence of HMS Trent off-shore Georgetown with its 65 crew and cannon aboard is reassuring for all.

Dear Editor, I recently read the article by Ramnarine Sahadeo that was published in the Guyana Times and in Kaieteur News on December 19th honoring helicopter pilot Michael Charles, a true patriot of Guyana.

Dear Editor, I read a letter in the Stabroek News newspaper today.

Dear Editor, I have seen a rather strange letter purportedly written by Mr.

Dear Editor, I would like extend holiday greetings for your commendable coverage and steadfastness in provision of fair and professional media.

Dear Editor, Details, including the full terms of reference or scope, remain unpublished regarding the 2018-2020 ExxonMobil Guyana US$7.3B cost recovery audit report, leaving Guyanese to speculate on the political, economic, and other influences on Guyanese-led RVHE Consulting and international firms: Martindale Consultants Inc.

Dear Editor, As democracy in Guyana continues to stumble, recent actions by the Guyana Police Force (GPF) have sent shockwaves through the very fabric of our nation’s democratic principles.

Dear Editor, Well-known journalist Mr. Travis Chase made a report to the police that unknown person/s shot at his car.

Dear Editor, We Guyanese must accept that the threat from Venezuela has merely been put on “pause” and it will be reignited, even if Maduro were to be replaced after next year’s election by frontrunner opposition leader Maria Corina Machado who said she prefers their Essequibo claim to be settled by the ICJ.

Dear Editor, The ‘stop the press’ statement by Opposition Member Roysdale Forde SC to decry the law enforcement and judicial agencies of Guyana serving a summons on a defendant and to heap accusations of political excess is self-contradictory.
