Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The National Amerindian Development Foundation (NADF) wishes to congratulate the National Toshaos Council (NTC) on successfully completing its recent Conference during August 19 – 23, 2024.

Dear Editor, Today I would like to touch on a topic that has been bothering me for a while now and it seems to be growing out of control in my beloved country: the practice of unqualified or underqualified individuals practicing as veterinarians, basically quacks of the trade.

Dear Editor, CRG extends its condolences to the family and friends of Sir Shridath Ramphal.

Dear Editor, I respond to David Patterson’s letter `Every Guyanese will support the bridging of every river in Guyana but not as a burden to its citizens’  (SN 8/29/2024) as a technocrat that led the execution of the Berbice Bridge project under the Presidency of Bharrat Jagdeo and witnessed its commissioning in December 2008.

Dear Editor, Why aren’t we seeing grand infrastructure projects on the 365 islands in the Essequibo River?

Dear Editor, The political landscape in Guyana has long been shaped by the rivalry between the APNU/AFC coalition and the PPP.

Dear Editor, I read statement from the Guyana Police Force issued on Thursday August 29, 2024, which states that the “Guyana Police Force is currently investigating another serious allegation made under the Sexual (Offences) Act of Guyana by a female against Paul Slowe”.

Dear Editor, You know elections season is in top gear with the full throated, full throttled revelations. 

Dear Editor, On August 26th, at the Mayor and Councillors of the City of Georgetown’s (M&CC) Statutory meeting, a ridiculous, selfish, and shameful institutional rate policy for political parties was bullied through the approval process.

Dear Editor, The sad news reached Guyana today of the passing of the Hon. 

Dear Editor, In responding to the AFC request that the new Berbice bridge project should be based on solid, transparent and publicly available data, should the Government not respond in a way that gives comfort to every Guyanese, hypocrites included?

Dear Editor, The announcement by President Irfaan Ali that commuters would soon benefit from toll-free travel across the new Demerara, Berbice and Mackenzie/Wismar bridges is indeed welcome news.

Dear Editor, The rehabilitation and modernization of the Linden Highway represents a monumental step forward for all who traverse this critical stretch of road.

Dear Editor, The recent headline, “The Ministry of Education is currently conducting a survey to ascertain which schools in the hinterland regions still use pit latrines with the aim of having them transition to flush toilets…” raises an intriguing health policy issue that deserves our attention.

Dear Editor, When an esteemed academician such as Dr. Bertrand Ramcharan – former Chan-cellor of the University of Guyana – writes a poorly constructed article that cries out for substantive evidentiary empirical support, it numbs the mind, and calls into question the legitimacy we, as Guyanese, place on prominent individuals.

Dear Editor, The issuance of warning by the police to bars, night spots, entertainment centres and other public places on noise levels, while good, hopefully, is not another exercise in talk and more talk.

Dear Editor, I went on a listening and grounding move at the Yarrowkabra Creek for the signing of the contract for the reconstruction of the Linden/Soesdyke Highway for USD169 million or GUYD33.8 billion on the 27/8/2024.

Dear Editor, The PPP government is abusing financial resources, paying a battery of letter writers to self-promote in the newspapers and social media.

Dear Editor, The infallible ones are at it again. In a letter in today’s Stabroek News (SN), the letter writer sought to justify the PPP’s past decision to construct a floating bridge crossing the Berbice River.

Dear Editor, The announcement of a state-of-the-art fixed high-span bridge across the Berbice River by the Guyana government is another example of addiction to “steroids” induced progress.
