Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, In a recent article it was reported that Vice President Jagdeo stated, among other things, that a larger share of its oil revenues sooner, would not benefit the country.

Dear Editor, In the 1970s until 1992 during the dark days of the Burnham dictatorship, this song “O maninja” was played over and over in the villages as it captured the plight of Guyanese scrounging for a living under the PNC regime.

Dear Editor, Starting from the 1960s, the PNC’s attitude towards politics has been “what is ours is ours, and what is the PPP’s is negotiable”.

Dear Editor, It was the majestic Mahalia Jackson and Sam Cooke, among illustrious others, who moaned in stirring song “Nobody knows the trouble I have seen”. 

Dear Editor, Kindly spare me space in your widely read newspaper, which I have supported for decades in more than one way.

Dear Editor, When I entered comic book stores in Kitchener, Ontario Canada and New York, I was so excited that I could have purchased comics of the 40s and 50s in very good conditions to add to my collection of over four thousands comics.

Editor’s Note: Upon further review of our interview with Ms Laura George, Stabroek News has verified that while she was not in fact misquoted in the article, `For 21 months, Amerindian Peoples Association has been unable to meet Minister Sukhai’,  published on 22 May, 2022, her comments were presented out of context.

Dear Editor, Even with all the video and other evidence available following the brouhaha in Parliament with the blatant removal of the mace, the opposition remains adamant and steadfast in its position- it wasn’t us. 

Dear Editor, I read with great satisfaction the Editorial “Diminishing green spaces,” Stabroek News, July 15, 2022 and let me say that I support every sentence contained within.

Dear Editor, As the National Toshaos Conference winds down there is much hope and optimism in our hinterland communities, as one of our Amerindian leaders projected into the future.

Dear Editor, Ms Laura George, of the Amerindian Peoples’ Association (APA), has said repeatedly that she was misquoted by the Stabroek News when the newspaper claimed she said that the Amerindian Land Titling (ALT) project had been started under the David Granger Administration.

Dear Editor, The caricature of President Ali masquerading in an immaculate thobe/dishdasha with the full keffiyeh head gear, could easily be mistaken for a Saudi Prince welcoming other Arab dignitaries in Riyadh or Mecca.  

Dear Editor, I am a final year student pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Management (PM) at the University of Guyana, Turkeyen Campus.

Dear Editor, The swift conclusion of the investigation into the burning of the teen while in custody of the state must be commended. 

Dear Editor, The GAWU has taken note of expressions of GuySuCo and its Chief Executive Officer, which appeared in several sections of the media in response to the calls by the workers of Uitvlugt Estate regarding their right holiday-with-pay (HWP) entitlements.

Dear Editor, I only learnt of the passing of Sir Autry Fernandes on Thursday.

Dear Editor, Politics in Guyana regularly throws up a cluster of Orwellian tropes.

Dear Editor, Any lingering doubt or indecisiveness as to whether Judges’ decision should be subject to public criticism has been further eroded with the relentless barrage of criticisms and demonstrations that erupted with the overturning of the 1973 Roe vs Wade decision that had made abortion a right.

Dear Editor, Narcissism and issues surrounding the Mental health of our population has always been swept under the carpet until clear cut cases surface and we all run to complain about poor mental health care and the approach to correct same.

Dear Editor, There was an educative report in SN of July 13 concerning an imbroglio between factory employees of Uitvlugt Estate and the highest level of GuySuCo’s Executive Management – certainly a most exceptional interaction during which the former reportedly alleged to have been ‘disrespected’ – a human complaint in an otherwise pedestrian industrial relations engagement, regarding which the Union (GAWU) will attest that there are ‘stages’ of negotiations (‘talks’ if you will) that are normally observed, and in which the Corporation’s accredited Industrial Relations team should usually be proactive, together of course with the Estate’s team.
