Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,  I am motivated to pen these few lines on the late Dr.

Dear Editor, I had just read a BBC article (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-66406137.amp) forwarded to me by Paul Tennassee regarding the recent Niger coup.

Dear Editor, Reference is made to Stabroek News of June 8, 2023.,

Dear Editor, I am an engineer by profession so I will try to make my point in a succinct manner and not “beat around the bush”!

Dear Editor, Reference is made to Dr. Randolph Persaud’s letter titled: ‘Suggestion that Exxon is Guyana’s new slave master is baseless .

Dear Editor, The Ministry of Health’s Community Health Care Workers concept is indeed a good one, especially given that it emphasises that Georgetown and Region Four are not Guyana and it embraces communities across the nation.

Dear Editor, Editor, the raping of a country’s wealth is usually facilitated by corrupt officials.

Dear Editor, The perceived de-recognition of the organisation born out of the U N Decade is peeved and up in arms against a recently formed ethnic organisation, which it sees as having the support and blessings of the government of the day, as government officials were present at the launch.

Dear Editor, The weekend of July 21 to 23, the period of July 30 to August 1, 2023, and August 5, 2023 will go down as seminal moments in the ongoing chasm between the current Government and the People of African Descent.

Dear Editor, The main private newspapers must be commended for often explaining the complex reports on Guyana’s economic performance, even as credible, accurate, timely, and adequate official information on the economy remains a challenge, if not a deliberate obstacle.

Dear Editor, Reference is made to the letter, `The alarm bells at Gold Board were going off during Lall’s tenure’ (SN, August 05). 

Dear Editor, The sign reading `Exxon is Guyana’s New Slave Master’ published in the Guyanese media on August 3, 2023, is unimaginably offensive to the descendants of slavery, and to Exxon.

Dear Editor, The recent sitting of Parliament has provided a healthy debate on the country’s economic development.

Dear Editor, The oil companies, Hess & Exxon, recently reported earnings in the 2Q2023 that were significantly below the profits they earned in 2Q last year.

Dear Editor, GHK Lall’s reply to my request for a name in simple transparent English took an interesting turn when he replied suggesting that I was on a fishing expedition because “this fine citizen, with his reach, still needs to know about who is who, and who does what, when he already knows.”

Dear Editor, There is a minor error of fact in Clement Rohee’e letter on Roger Luncheon in yesterday’s edition – “Luncheon was one of many in the PPP who had the courage to defend freedom.”

Dear Editor, This is a response to Roger Ally (SN, 4th August 2023) to let him know I stand by every word in my letter (SN 2nd August 2023) that the struggle of the African Guyanese for racial, social, economic and political justice is real, necessary and just.

Dear Editor, Black members of the PPP have, from time immemorial always faced the brunt of attacks from the PNC; BH Benn, EMG Wilson, Una Mulzac, George David, Isaac Fraser, Arthur Cumberbatch, Charlie Cassato, Harold Snagg, Louis Mitchell aka ‘Coffee’, Eric Gilbert, Cyril Belgrave, Shirley Edwards, Victor James, Gladwin Levius, Maurice Herbert, Clinton Collymore, Gerald Beaton and Roger Luncheon were some of the untold number of Black PPP stalwarts who suffered in one way or another under the Burnham dictatorship.

Dear Editor, Many and richly deserving tributes will be extended to Dr.

Dear Editor, News of Dr. Luncheon’s passing is very sad for the PPP and for Guyana.
