Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I am writing to express my concern and to seek clarification on the status of the enhancement project in Durey Lane, Campbellville, announced with much fanfare in January 2022.

Dear Editor, Benjamin Franklin, known as one of the founding fathers of the United States of America was an inventor, statesman, diplomat, printer, publisher and political philosopher. 

Dear Editor, I just saw a very disturbing documentary on YouTube called “How Exxon stole a 3rd world country”.

Dear Editor, The rise in Guyanese’s concern about immigration levels is likely tied to the record numbers of Venezuelans coming to Guyana the past two years.

Dear Editor, The front page of the Stabroek News, October 27, 2023 screamed with the shocking news.

Dear Editor, People’s Progressive Party (PPP) General Secretary and Guyana’s Vice President, Bharrat Jagdeo, at his press conference last Thursday sought to cast aspersion that yours truly is an extremist for holding him to account for his government’s discussion to grant Venezuela “a channel to the sea” when that country is coveting two-thirds of our land, settled by the 1899 Arbitral Award.

Dear Editor, Were the ICJ to rule favourably on the provisional requests of Guyana, and Venezuela still proceeds with its unlawful referendum, would world bodies such as UN and OAS suspend or expel that country from membership of those organizations?

Dear Editor, Recently, President Ali and Prime Minister Mark Phillips have been preoccupied with addressing the border controversy and briefing the opposition on the false and illegitimate claims by President Maduro of Venezuela.

Dear Editor, Many letters have appeared in your letters’ column on the Israel/Gaza conflict but most, if not all, embrace a mindful gap of the global impact arising out of Hamas’ actions on October 7, 2023; among the 1,200 hostages held in Gaza are those who either hold dual citizenship or are citizens of 40 countries.

Dear Editor, The calls have been coming from more than a few quarters in Guyana. 

Dear Editor, I wish to commend the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha for yet another display of cultural extravaganza.

Dear Editor, A poem in honour of Rohan Kanhai’s University of Guyana recognition recently announced.

Dear Editor, Two items of interest attracted my attention in yesterday’s SN.

Dear Editor, The PPP’s mentality that sees people as mostly devourers of national revenues – or as Bharrat Jagdeo often snidely puts it “they just eat out the budget” — is the single starkest difference between how the PPP sees development and how APNU sees it.

Dear Editor, The President’s announcement of big increases for teachers and public workers is a step in the right direction.

Dear Editor, This past week saw another major economic policy action by President Irfaan Ali and his government to help those in need throughout Guyana. 

Dear Editor, It is good to see that Foreign Secretary Robert Persaud will be in London next weekend for the  important  conference on the future of Guyana’s Black Gold-Oil.

Dear Editor, I’m willing to bet that if either Cheddi Jagan or Forbes Burnham was in charge of this country Guyana would have severed ties with Israel long ago.

Dear Editor, I refer to a rather preposterous letter which appeared in your issue of Friday November 10, 2023 headlined: `Sugges-tion that city is being financially strangled due to political gamesmanship is baseless’, signed by 11 PPP/C Councillors. 

Dear Editor,  Chris Ram, yesterday, brought our  attention, at this very time of  intense border/hegemonic disputes, all of which have remarkable similarities, to the work of Cedric Joseph on the nature of the historical  Guyana-Venezuela controversy.
