Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The media has reported that the contractor for the East Bank/East Coast Highway road development has recruited some sixty truck drivers since he claims that he cannot find truck drivers locally.

Dear Editor, That steward and passenger spat over a remark, was not enough for the aircraft to turn around. 

Dear Editor, I find great pleasure and stimulation reading Editorials of the Kaieteur News and Stabroek News.

Dear Editor, Mr. Raphael Trotman will probably go down in history as the government minister who signed the agreement for the worst petroleum deal ever inflicted on a sovereign state.

Dear Editor, It is indeed shocking that a man who stabbed Nadina Kalamadeen, a 35 year-old mother of 5 children multiple times killing her, was given an inexplicable sentence of 10 years with time off for period spent in remand resulting in the possibility that he will be free in 6 years.

Dear Editor, “… slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”

Dear Editor, The unprecedented “Comprehensive Child and Youth Health Programme (CYHP),” that was recently birthed in Guyana, is a most wonderful initiative.

Dear Editor, The sordid details revealed in the ‘nuisance neighbour’ court case (GT July 23), brought against a business place by a resident, unfolds in no uncertain terms a perceived tale of aided and abetted corrupt practices to which the authorities, at all levels, turned a blind eye and looked the other way, thus the neighbour became emboldened in their nuisance ways.

Dear Editor, In the realm of politics, the role of a leader is to serve in the best interests of the people, to be a beacon of hope, and to possess unwavering integrity.

Dear Editor, Last Thursday Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo sought to mislead the nation when he said the compensation the government will award to the victims of the Mahdia dormitory fire is not final.
