Dear Editor, I write to congratulate the President on his wholehearted acknowledgement of Cuba’s meaningful contribution to our nation’s medical services over the years. 

Dear Editor, World Press Freedom Day 2023 marked a momentous juncture for the Fourth Estate, with a theme that positioned the free press as an enabler of wider freedoms.

Dear Editor, The amended act governing E-bikes is one of the most asinine pieces of legislation that the sitting Government has tabled.

Dear Editor, I don’t believe my qualifications with regard to lambasting pre-2020 PPP government administrations on the Arts need restating and I stand by every prior criticism I’ve made.

Dear Editor, Allow me a space in your daily to ask Vice President Jagdeo and the PPP how it is that after its first term of twenty-three years (1992- 2015), and three years since their re-election in 2020, they only now see it fit to unveil a plan for the development of New Amsterdam.

Dear Editor,  A little over a decade ago, members of the media were invited to the launch of the ambitiously conceived Independent Media Association of Guyana (IMAG), the organizational objective of which was “To collaborate with media workers in promoting Professional & Ethical standards, Safeguarding and Promoting the rights & Privileges of the media in all Guyana”.

Dear Editor, Pensioners used to get the first 10 cubic meter water per month free, we have to pay for any amount above that.

Dear Editor, In its shameful and anti-national appeal to Justice Sandil Kissoon’s fearless and powerful ruling against the EPA for its breach of duty and failure to enforce clauses in the Permit issued to ESSO governing oil extraction, the EPA has argued that the Permit is a mere contract between the parties, and exceeds the boundaries of the EP Act… (‘EPA files appeal against Exxon insurance ruling,’ SN, May 10, 2023).
