Dear Editor, Reference is made to your editorial “Tourism” (June 28).

Dear Editor, Clearly the electoral season is well on the way, even though VP Jagdeo insists that elections will not be scheduled until November 2025; more than a year away.

Dear Editor, Something strange happened at New York’s JFK airport on the 11th July 2024, Vickram Bharrat, Guyana’s Minister of Natural Resources arrived to visit his father who is hospitalized and ailing; Minister Bharrat was visiting in a private capacity however he was traveling on a diplomatic passport, the minister did not request protocol, no request was made by any official in Guyana and yet, Bharrat was met by American officials and a Caribbean Airlines employee who informed him that the airline had made arrangements to expedite his processing in light of his status and family emergency.

Dear Editor, The ill-placed critique on cost-of-living increases fails to consider the full picture of a government that has acted with empathy and strategic foresight, absorbing many costs through the Treasury to keep living expenses manageable for all Guyanese.

Dear Editor, I am writing to express my delight at the Guyanese government’s brilliant strategy to encourage foreign direct investments (FDI) by making it astonishingly easy for investors to whisk their profits overseas.

Dear Editor, It was through a casual conversation with a friend of mine who works at the nation’s largest referral hospital, Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) that I discovered that Doctors are issued a contract that gives a flat rate of $4,000 for an “On-call shift”.

Dear Editor, “Journalism has become ground zero for the vocation crisis” is the headline of an article in the June 25 edition of the online newsletter The Conversation.

Dear Editor, I write with reference to Chris Ram’s column. He is reporting CNOOC earned a profit of USD 1.7 billion (rounded) on its 25% ownership in the consortium drilling for oil in Guyana.

Dear Editor, It has become a habit of some to treat the PPP and the PNCR, and their respective associates as two peas in a pod.

Dear Editor, It’s undeniable that governments all over the world have a compelling incentive to underreport inflation.

Dear Editor, I read, with interest, the report of Mr. Nigel Hughes’ first press conference as leader of the Alliance For Change (AFC) in the July 9, 2024, issue of the “Kaieteur News”, I was disappointed.

Dear Editor, I must tip my hat to the Minister of Home Affairs for his exuberant celebration over the new 24-hour road surveillance bill.

Dear Editor, In this continuation of yesterday’s contribution on Bharrat Jagdeo’s reaction to Nigel Hughes’s ascendancy to leadership in a major opposition party, the focus is limited to two issues: conflict of interest and interests.

Dear Editor, The Stabroek News July 11, 2024 edition article stating that the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) yesterday cited a “possible typographical error” in Mohamed’s Enterprise’s construction of the Guyana Fire Service Headquarters on Homestretch Avenue is only akin to the bed sheet statement of the polls fiasco.

Dear Editor, Another six year old shot in the head and in a serious condition, following on the heels of the nine year who was chopped.
