Dear Editor, How are friends of a patient allowed to break down a door in the public hospital without an arrest to deter similar action?

Dear Editor, Rickford Burke in his letter captioned, ‘My main criticism was that the current PNC leadership has no plan’ (07.11.17) says that the PNC is a multi-ethnic party; thinks I am preaching only to the PNC; believes I support what he calls “Indian triumphalism” and most importantly chooses to ignore my main thesis which is that Guyana cannot evolve into a genuine multiracial democracy unless the ethnic parties first transform themselves into genuine multiracial parties.

Dear Editor Before the Government and the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) become too excited about recent nominal fines on serially-offending logging concession holders, may I suggest a review of some facts: The GFC has had an obligation since its 1993 concessions policy to audit loggers at not more than two-year intervals.

Dear Editor, I was, frankly, amazed to see the Guyana Chronicle carrying the letter from Red Thread last week expressing its concern, anger and frustration at the AFC’s statement on the VAT, in which Raphael Trotman indicated that a letter had been sent out to a number of stakeholders, who turned out to be the usual lineup of political parties and trade unions (with the exception of Eileen Cox, tireless consumer advocate), and which completely bypassed Red Thread and indicated a most worrying tendency to conduct business as usual.

Dear Editor, The disclosures by the head of the Criminal Investigation Department Mr Seelall Persaud are something new.

Dear Editor, I am gravely concerned about the way in which leading political figures use our roadways with little or no regard for the lives of others.

Dear Editor, SN’s headline (11.17.07) titled, “Venezuela invades Guyana’s territory – military blows up two dredges” struck with all the sound and force of those explosions.

Dear Editor, During my last discussion with Cheddi Jagan around 1990, he said that the PNC government was preparing the Afro community to fail.
