Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I have said it once, and I will say it again because it is important for our country and our creatives.

Dear Editor, The PPP/C has repeatedly accused the opposition forces of evoking racial discrimination as a political tool.

Dear Editor, Guyana continues to experience one of the highest suicide rates globally, with an estimated 40 per 100,000 people affected—more than triple the global average (WHO, 2023).

Dear Editor, I write to clarify the statement attributed to former President Donald Ramotar in your story “Gov’t does not intervene in work of Commissioner of Information – President,” which appeared in yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek.

Dear Editor, I am writing to stress the importance of ensuring that anesthesia is routinely used during colonoscopies at Georgetown Public Hospital Coroporation.

Dear Editor, The NIS onetime cash payment looks flawed just like the one off cash grant which was announced as $200,000 per family, then changed to $100,000 per person over 18 years – after realizing the logistical nightmare.

Dear Editor, The PPP Government money machine is on the move. 

Dear Editor, The announcement by the President of a one off cash grant to seniors who did not record the required 750 contributions was lauded by some.

Dear Editor, The United Workers Party’s declaration that it would dissolve workers’ organisations within its first 100 days in office, should it form the next government, demands a serious national conversation.

Dear Editor, I found this quoted sentence in one of your news articles of April 13th.

Dear Editor,  Many Guyanese will agree that the minimum wage in Guyana is too low given that Guyana is an oil producing nation.

Dear Editor, I listened keenly to the latest announcements made by President Irfaan Ali, and one question continues to boggle my mind; why now?

Dear Editor, Every week there appears to be news of carnage on the roadways of Guyana.

Dear Editor, It is very disconcerting to see the President of our country taking the stage in all our affairs that I feel should rightly involve the Ministers and other officials of the ministries that concern the various issues being addressed. 

Dear Editor, I would like to bring to the media’s attention that the NIS is now refusing to process the claims by GuySuCo workers because as one NIS official told my brother when he enquired, the Corporation owes NIS some $4 billion in outstanding contributions. 

Dear Editor, Mr. Sase, the most successful CEO of  GuySuCo, thinks the NIS “one off cash grant” announced by the President will bring closure particularly for sugar workers (SN, April 12, 2025).

Dear Editor, I make my position clear.  A job is desired, one where I can’t be fired for non-performance. 

Dear Editor, I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for President Dr.

Dear Editor,  It seems to me that the sole objective must be the removal of the PPP.

Dear Editor,  I’ve been wondering about something that doesn’t get talked about much in Guyana: how much airspace do private property owners actually control above their land?
