Letters to the Editor

Dear  Editor, I spent a very happy Christmas in Georgetown with my wife’s family (the Carpenters) but found only a few of my old friends and colleagues from the 1950s and 60s when I worked for Sandbach  Parker.

Dear Editor, In my opinion, the Demerara Harbour Bridge has deteriorated to such an extent that lives are daily in danger.

Dear Editor,   We the examination students of the Tucville Secondary School are begging for the intervention of some authority within the Ministry of Education to take us out of the plight we are now in.

Dear Editor,Notice has been taken of the involvement by the opposition parties and show of solidarity against the government’s draconian penalty towards Mr Sharma’s television (CNS 6).

Dear Editor, A recently reported admission that there was corruption in certain quarters, presumably in high places, comes as no surprise and is an almost unnecessary confirmation of what has long been considered as normal activity in our social condition.

Dear Editor, I wish to make my position on the Sharma-v-President Jagdeo issue quite clear as the various currents tend to obscure the fundamental dimensions of the issue.

Dear Editor, I refer to a letter captioned “This article contains unattributed passages from other sources” by Vishnu Singh.

Dear Editor, I’ll appreciate if you can give some answers, or at least get some to these concerns which I think may not be mine only.

Dear Editor, I refer to a letter captioned “Mr Kissoon must ensure he checks his facts” (08.04.21) by someone who signs his name as Anand Persaud.

Dear Editor, In Sunday Stabroek (April 20, 2008) in a report headlined, “Dawa pump station to be commissioned shortly” Mr Dharamlall, Head of the Guyana Rice Project Management Unit is purported to have told SN that ‘a fully functioning Dawa pumping station would also mitigate flooding during times of heavy rainfall’.

Dear Editor, It’s quite frightening when one gets the impression that the death of a mother at the hands of her abusive husband is treated as “just another bit of news”.

Dear Editor,  It may have been a laughing matter last week when the CEO of the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) Mr Karan Singh was being forced by an angry mob in East Canje that pressured him (pun intended) to drink water from the taps of East Canje villages, but the entire episode carried a very serious meaning.

Dear Editor, I was travelling from Brazil by land to Georgetown and was surprised at the treatment from the immigration personnel who demanded $3,000 from each Brazilian national to get a stamp into Guyana.
