It is quite understandable if the subject of West Indies cricket was farthest from the minds of Caribbean sports fans over the past weekend.

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.

Going forward, Caribbean Community (CARICOM) governments now run the risk of being unacceptably delinquent in the execution of their responsibility to the countries of the region in the wake of Beryl’s rampage and the toll it has taken on what, in some parts of the region, had already been an existing serious food security deficit.

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.

Whenever the 2020 term of the PPP/C Government is assessed in terms of procurement corruption, the award of the $865m Belle Vue pump station to Tepui Inc will stand out as one of the sternest indictments.

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.
