Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Guyana is rapidly emerging as a formidable force in global agriculture, with the government taking deliberate, strategic steps to transform the country into a regional breadbasket and beyond.

Dear Editor, I read Lelon Saul’s recent letter (I call upon the opposition-appointed GECOM commissioners to resign).

Dear Editor: The recent letter by Vincent Alexander (in which he relied on the constitution to demonstrate the absolute necessity of verified residency in constituency-based elections) and my own contribution (where I joined the call for Article 159(2)(c) to be properly interpreted, thereby establishing residency as a qualification for all elections) will help much, I am told, to bring order and good sense to Guyana’s electoral laws.

Dear Editor,  The Government of Guyana must be commended for the work that is being done to improve the road network across the country, especially the farm to market access roads.
