Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Deryck Bernard was one of the more liked politicians by both sides of the House of Parliament.

Dear Editor, The death of Mr. Deryck Bernard who returned from Trinidad and Tobago two weeks ago for the funeral of his mother came to me as a great shock.

Dear Editor, Several times when I have reached the convent/Old Folks Home at Thomas and East Streets, I hear a great straining and heaving.

Dear Editor, Why is there so much strident and unreasonable opposition and criticism to the obviously necessary action to level and clear the dense vegetation at the back of some villages along the lower East Coast?

Dear Editor, Everyone has been clamoring for the government to be more effective in combating the crimewave emanating from Buxton.

Dear Editor, This is my first comment on the brutal killings that took place at Lusignan when eleven persons, including five children, lost their lives under the most tragic of circumstances.

Dear Editor, I write to correct a piece of misinformation which appeared in your Wednesday, February 6 edition headlined “Months later, Parliament Security Committees still to begin work”.

Dear Editor, I commend the managements of Digicel and GT&T for their collaborative statement in response to the Lusignan massacre.

Dear Editor, I doubted that this sophiscated, simple and astute politician, and accomplished academic could depart at this time.

Dear Editor, It gives me great relief to see that there will be new modernized speedboats operating in the Georgetown/Vreed-en-Hoop stellings and perhaps all over Guyana, where speedboats are operating to carry passengers to different locations.

Dear Editor, The e-mail from Mr Hunte of the WICB to Mr Ian Bishop printed in Wednesday’s SN is fascinating, less from a cricket point of view and more about the issues of innovative leadership and resource mobilisation in the West Indies.

Dear Editor, I wish to express my disappointment with English researchers at Newcastle University who recently reported that they have created human embryos carrying genetic material from three different parents.

Dear Editor, The clearing of the bushes in the Buxton backdam will be useless six months from today because the bushes will recover.

Dear Editor, The problem with the police force is more one of entrenched attitude and hierarchy than pay and equipment.

Dear Editor, It is expected that people can generally be inconvenienced by any operation similar to what is currently being undertaken by the Joint Services in the backlands on the East Coast.

Dear Editor, I am heartened by the government’s move to swiftly clear the East Coast Backlands to enhance the security of the area by removing hiding places for criminals who have been using the backlands as a safe haven.

Dear Editor, Last Tuesday’s voting in the U.S Presidential contests for the Democratic nomination has divided communities, races, people of all walks of life and families all across the country even among Guyanese-Americans.

Dear Editor, I would like to clarify some of the arguments between the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) and the wood processing industry.

Dear Editor, Over last weekend, I was in receipt of several telephone calls from concerned residents of the Buxton/Friendship community, and had some of their stories confirmed by eyewitnesses.

Dear Editor, The only village with backlands between Triumph and Enmore is Buxton- Friendship.
