Dangerous tripling of time for capping stack to get to oil well must be explained

Dear Editor, I am most elated by VP Jagdeo’s hullabaloo surrounding the arrival of the capping stack in Guyana, since it finally brings attention to the constant raising of my dreaded concern about the Government’s dangerous tripling of the stack’s deployment time to 9 days from the 3 days decided upon by the Coalition Government and Exxon, which was enshrined in the Payara permit.

Overtime versus allowance

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.

This cartoon was in very bad taste

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.
