Dear Editor,
US$4 million was spent on the spanking new Massy supermarket at Providence and your front page picture of March 18, of suited dignitaries walking through the well-stocked aisles also showcased Guyana’s pervasive illiteracy.
Dear Editor,
I am a rice farmer and I do extensive seedling paddy cultivation in the community of Hague Settlement, which is located on the West Coast of Demerara.
Dear Editor,
Mr Alfred Bhulai’s correspondence in Stabroek News on March 18, titled ‘Gecom ad contains errors’, is one of the many examples of the rhetoric articulated around local government elections (LGE).
Dear Editor,
Please permit me to respond to Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan’s letter titled ‘The mayorship is not a mostly ceremonial position’ (SN, March 18).
Dear Editor,
It was very nice that several rice farmers from Huis’t Dieren in Region 2, including myself, were consulted at a public forum about the bad state of a koker with a concrete base and wooden walls, sited in a dual purpose trench alongside the school dam in the backlands.
Dear Editor,
A friend of mine shared the following extract from a BBC report featuring amazing lessons in governance which are especially noteworthy for poor third world countries like Guyana.
Dear Editor,
I thank Clinton Urling for contributing to the discourse on local government by penning a letter published under the caption, ‘New system needed where Mayor directly elected,’ (SN, March 14).
Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,
Most of those reading this letter who live in Guyana are probably still undecided as to whom they should vote for in the local government elections (LGE).
Dear Editor,
Tacuma Oguyseye castigated Hamilton Green on his distorted letter about Walter Rodney (see, ‘Green misrepresented the facts surrounding Rodney’s assassination’, SN, March 15).
Notwithstanding his recent indiscretions, Chris Gayle’s match-winning, 47-ball century with 11 sixes, in West Indies’ first match against England in the ICC World T20 championship in Mumbai on Wednesday, was an undoubted crowd-pleaser and an emphatic reminder that he is still one of the most destructive batsmen in international T20 cricket, if not the master of the format.
