Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, For the past few years, I have been trying to convince the Athletic Association of Guyana, the Ministry of Education Youth and Sports, and the Guyana Teachers Union, that they need to reschedule the Regional Schools Athletic Track and Field Championships to a time of year that coincides with the Caribbean premier secondary school athletic championship and one that will ensure optimum performance by our student athletes.

Dear Editor, A few things have to be said about where Guyana is with this Venezuelan crisis, and it helps everyone when I do this in a bareknuckle manner.

Dear Editor, Thank you for publishing the many missives and news reports that keep us well informed and updated on Venezuela’s claim to legitimate territory that belongs to Guyana.

Dear Editor, The deceptive political narratives perpetuated by the state-owned Guyana Chronicle and Guyana Times newspapers demand immediate scrutiny and condemnation.

Dear Editor, What Venezuela is doing according to the declarations made by its Vice Presi-dent before the International Court of Justice last week, scares the hell out of me, and in fact should scare the citizens of every country on this planet.

Dear Editor, Traffic craziness, carelessness and confusion continue on the carriageways leading to constant corruption, chaos and carnage as more lives are lost, injured and survivors and families remain hurt, humiliated and hapless.

Dear Editor, On 2023 – 10- 16, we submitted, via Wales Post Office, an application for birth certificates for four members of our family in relation to documents necessary for NIS to process a benefit request within a three month period commencing in this case from September 01.

Dear Editor, I am reaching out to present a detailed and well-informed counter-narrative to the comparison of Guyana’s and Suriname’s oil deals recently featured in another media.

Dear Editor, Reference is made to “School violence: We’re on the precipice of a slippery slope” (Nov 14).

Dear Editor, Two heads are better than one.  Where the thinking reservoir of a nation is narrowed to one head, [along with other heads that are committed to thinking identically], I admit that some value could be had, but much more could be lost. 

Dear Editor, There are complaints all over the coast about blackouts amidst a rise in electricity rates.

Dear Editor, It seems the jury is in on the fact-finding visit to the mining town last Friday amid claims of partisanship and biasness by the visitors, the manipulating of the visitors and meeting to suit a stated purpose and outcome and the ignoring of brochures countering the claims of some.

Dear Editor, I listened to the first part of an interview with Captain Gerry Gouveia, National Security Advisor to the President and Government.

Dear Editor, I am writing about the recent BV accident, which resulted in the tragic death of my cousin, Annette Abel.

Dear Editor, I have dual citizenship and as such passports for both Canada and Guyana. 

Dear Editor, Venezuela presses on with a national referendum which would be affirmed as the will of the people by the Supreme Court of Venezuela.

Dear Editor, It is good to see that differences between the government and the opposition were overcome to reach agreement on the meaning of the actions taken by Venezuela.

Dear Editor, Reference is made to “Patriotism and Geneva” (Nov 19).
