Dear Editor, With just a few days remaining in the election campaign in Grenada, the incumbent New National Party led by Prime Minister Keith Mitchell appears headed for an unprecedented fourth consecutive victory at the polls – bucking the trend of what happened in the rest of the Caribbean (except Trinidad) in recent elections.

Dear Editor, I would like to respond to your piece ‘Time 63 beach opening with Berbice River Bridge – Prashad,’ published in SN June 24, in which Tourism and Commerce Minister Manniram Prashad, “urged the management committee overseeing the upgrading of the Number 63 beach to complete the project in time to coincide with the completion of the Berbice River Bridge.”

Dear Editor, As the infrastructure projects in Guyana come on stream namely, the Berbice River bridge and the GT to Rosignol highway to name two, the icing on the cake would be the development of the Ogle airport to accommodate regional flights.

Dear Editor, On behalf of a resident of the Rupununi Savannah, I visited GBTI Head Office in Water Street in order to deposit G$50,000 in cash.

Dear Editor, I agree with W P George’s comment that “to bring some kind of order and morality back, all the people, organizations and churches, etc, have to start a moral revival.

Dear Editor, As a supplement to what I had written earlier on Leonora Park, I forward to you a copy of a plan as well as my letter to the President dated March 6, 2007.

Dear Editor, The PPP has a huge problem. It concerns the support base in the diaspora.

Dear Editor, I strongly believe that the Commissioner of Police, Acting, Mr Henry Greene, should be confirmed at the earliest.

Dear Editor, The crimes which have taken place during the period since the PPP/C has been in office are too numerous to mention – too many massacres for a small population like that of Guyana.

Dear Editor, I am writing again about the telephone companies in Guyana.

Dear Editor, I wish to thank the real Sherwin Campbell (‘Judges should be required to deliver their decisions in a reasonable time’ SN 25.6.08) for his kind comments on my recent letter which dealt with problems at the High Court of Guyana.

Dear Editor, In a recent letter, ‘The press should investigate the killing of the miners,’ published in SN on June 27, I asked the government agencies concerned to explain why the 39 micro projects  financed by the EU were vetoed by the Guyana government.

Dear Editor, I have been in Grenada for several days (not for cricket) conducting a survey, but almost everywhere my accent betrays my nationality, and the name of Shivnarine Chanderpaul and cricket quickly replaces a discussion on politics or elections.

Dear Editor, Banning Pit Bulls would be like banning cars because people get killed in car accidents!

Dear Editor, I have been following the cartoon controversy very closely in your newspaper and I am compelled to use my pen to highlight one important journalistic perspective, that seems to be missing in all the letters and comments about the cartoon and the IAC.

Dear Editor, The murder of those 8 hapless miners at Lindo Creek reminds me of the murder of the electrician, Charles de Menezes, who was mistaken for a suicide bomber after 7/7 in England.

Dear Editor, I refer to the letter written by Desmond Trotman captioned ‘The destruction of the young among us calls out for national consensus’ published in the Stabroek News of  June 26.
