Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Thank you for sharing my missives with the general public, about the Asha Kissoon squatting in parliament fiasco.

Dear Editor, The casual observation by name not mentioned on the allowance paid to doctors, instead of overtime should be taken seriously, not only by the Government but all employers who pay in excess of the minimum wages, with the rationale that overtime is inclusive, especially in circumstances where the hours of work by day or week are regulated by statute.

Dear Editor, In a letter which was published in SN on July 9, writer Conrad Barrow expressed his opinion that indigenous architectural designs and technology would be better for schools in Guyana and elsewhere.

Dear Editor, Seeing the results of the Congresses of the AFC and the PNC/R I am left with an intriguing question.

Dear Editor, On January 11, 2024 I completed copies of a form sent to me by the National Insurance Scheme.

Dear Editor I feel compelled to write this letter for the edification of your readers.

Dear Editor, Hi, I go by MK. My full name is Makayla – but to my family, I am affectionately known as Kayla.

Dear Editor, In my view, if Donald Trump were to be reelected as President of the United States of America, it would be the worst possible decision ever made by the American voters, both for the USA and for the world, but, given the fact that he was targeted for assassination, which is totally and absolutely unacceptable, especially in a country which prides itself on being the bastion of democracy in the world, and came within a centimeter of being killed, I consider that the Harris cartoon on the subject of the assassination is in very bad taste and should not have been published by the Stabroek News.

Dear Editor, I believe young people play a crucial role in our society and ought to be given the right opportunities to generate greater impacts and acknowledgement.

Dear Editor, The exploitative nature of ExxonMobil has not gone unnoticed.

Dear Editor, I, Joel Bhagwandin, SphereX’ s Director, had set out a strict conditionality to client, EMGL, prior to accepting a contract, establishing unequivocally at the outset that the firm will not advance and/or advocate for any position that would be favourable exclusively to EMGL and unfavourable to the Government of Guyana—and more so against the national interest.

Dear Editor, Indented in the Guyana’s 2016 Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) with Exxon, is a clear and unequivocal statement (I will break it down in layman language) – renegotiation of the Oil Contract is quite possible as long as there is mutual agreement (Exxon & the Guyana Government) on both sides.

Dear Editor, I, like most Guyanese, have traversed the length and breadth of this country and it is clear to see that the landscape of Guyana is undergoing significant transformations, propelled by investments in infrastructure and various developmental projects.

Dear Editor, I have stated before that both parties are only interested in using the people of Guyana to further their thirst for power but have little or no care for the masses of Guyana.

Dear Editor  The opposition is making hay of the swim incident in which a fourteen year old regrettably lost his life.

Dear Editor, It was amusing to see several retired military officers who had mutinied against their erstwhile Commander in Chief in order to unseat him as PNC Leader in the 2021 congress had themselves been unseated from that party’s central committee in the 2024 congress.

Dear Editor,  The Oil and Gas Governance Network (OGGN) notes that ExxonMobil Guyana Limited (EMGL) was happy to announce the arrival of the 100,000 lb capping stack to close off an oil well in the event of an uncontrolled blowout (Payara environmental permit, 24 September 2020) or uncontrolled well event (Yellowtail environmental permit, 30 March 2022). 

Dear Editor, I have not been a writer to your letter columns but with the sordid allegations of financial impropriety allegedly involving Officers at the level of Assistant Commissioner in the Guyana Police Force coupled with what appears to me to be a blatant attempt to shield an Assistant Commissioner, I am urged to make a few comments on the releases from the Police Force.

Dear Editor, The National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) results are in, and our students have risen to the first demand on their dedication, aptitude, and sustained interest in learning. 

Dear Editor, I saw the Facebook posting last Friday that Minister Vickram Bharrat on Thursday was escorted by Federal Agents upon his arrival at the John F.
