Letters to the Editor

People will support tough action by the Government

Dear Editor, While President Bharrat Jagdeo is only now holding meetings to get ideas on how to stop the criminal slaughter of citizens nationwide, the consensus of the sensible majority of Guyanese seems obvious: the immediate capture of this murderous gang is the most pressing of national priorities.

Several persons being wrongly denied bail

Dear Editor, There seems to be a close race as to which branch of law enforcement, the Police or the Magistracy, most breaks the law by refusing bail to persons entitled to bail and as a result filling the police lock-ups and the prisons with persons who are presumed to be innocent in the eyes of the law.

Sympathy from the diaspora

Dear Editor, To the bereaved family members, friends, fellow villagers, and Guyanese at large, the Guyanese Pioneer Fund-raising group of Scarborough, Ontario send their deepest and heartfelt condolences.

Declare a state of emergency and seek overseas help

Dear Editor, Based on solid intelligence out there and the recent massacre in Lusignan and Bartica the government need to wake up and face the reality that they are dealing with a rebel group whose aim is to destabilize the government of the day.

There is more direct political control of the state media

Dear Editor, The People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) administration can no longer deny the now patently clear interference in the daily operations of the state media, thereby subverting the roles and functions of the Boards of Directors as well as the journalistic and editorial functionaries of the Guyana Chronicle and National Communications Network.

Water at Linden is contaminated

Dear Editor, While according to the Guyana Water Inc. they are grappling with getting their act together so as to bring a tolerable and stable water service to the Linden Community, a greater danger looms, typhoid!

There must be moral limits to science

Dear Editor, Regarding the letter “Genetic science has a lot to offer”, (08.02.15) by M Xiu Quan-Balgobind-Hackett, February 15, 2008: M Xiu Quan-Balgobind-Hackett must have misread my letter for I did not “condemn outright the new techniques of genetic science”.
