Letters to the Editor

Prashad Nagar was a private housing development

Dear Editor, My attention was directed to a letter by Mr Hamilton Green, JP, captioned “The PNC facilitated many housing schemes”(08.04.28)in which he mentioned about “the dozens of housing starts facilitated by the previous administration ranging from Roxanne Burnham Gardens to Prashad Nagar”.

Few Afro-Guyanese feel self-loathing as Ms Gibson suggests

Dear Editor, I wish to state categorically and without fear of successful contradiction that no African Guyanese will accept or share the very low opinions which Kean Gibson has of them and which she expresses in her letter captioned “A case can be made for marginalization without the use of statistics,” (08.04.24).

I lived through the kick-down-the-door banditry, which caused havoc to Indians

Dear Editor, I couldn’t agree more with the statement by Rakesh Rampertab in his letter captioned “The kick-down-the-door banditry in the eighties was brutal and debilitating” (08/04/27) that with respect to East Indians, “the devastation caused and the extent of the psychological dominance resulting from years of criminal attacks  have unfortunately been ignored or taken for granted at times”. 

The PNCR’s protest marches should be supported

Dear Editor, The two successful protest marches, organised by the main opposition party the PNCR, under the banner “Freedom March against dictatorship” in solidarity with Mr C N Shama and his workers(over the government closure of Ch 6 for 4 months), the rising cost of living, the crime crisis and the bogus charges against Mr Oliver Hinckson – should put to rest any question about  Mr Corbin and his party’s capacity to get their supporters back to street marches after a protracted withdrawal from that form of protest.
