Dear Editor, The Stabroek News Editorial of Tuesday May 21 has certainly stirred conversation.

Dear Editor, It must now be excruciatingly clear that the Government-nominated members of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) and the Chairman, harbour no qualms about exposing their political partisanship and are decidedly determined to execute political directions, even if it results in unconstitutional and irrational actions.

Dear Editor, I am heartened that my letters recently published in the media on the matter of the failure of very senior public persons to report their assets to the Integrity Commission, have resulted in widespread public exposure of the issue.

Dear Editor, The Government of Guyana, represented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Karen Cummings, must be congratulated for not only doing the right thing, but also doing the bright thing, by voting in the affirmative at the United Nations General Assembly, regarding the call for Britain to relinquish control over the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean.

Dear Editor, I read with interest your article in yesterday’s SN  `Guyana among 116 countries at UN calling for Britain to give up control over Chagos Islands’ in relation to the recent UN vote calling on the UK to cede sovereignty of these islands, which have been British for over two hundred years, to Mauritius; which is actually some 1,150 nautical miles away from Diego Garcia.

Dear Editor, How could you, Mr. President?  Say it ain’t so, Excellency…. 

Dear Editor, It is with great consternation I write to relate to you a very sad precedent that has developed in the Hague/Blankenburg Water Users’ Association.

On Wednesday Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Shalimar Ali-Hack, Stephen Fraser, Carole James-Boston, Robert Ramcharran and Rajendra Nath Poonai were presented with their instruments of appointment as Senior Counsel by President David Granger.

Dear Editor,   I am shocked, maybe I should say appalled, and my ‘jaw dropped’ when I read the Ministry of the Presidency’s release, dated May 22, 2019, that President David Granger is not compliant with the Integrity Com-mission Act and has not fulfilled his obligations in filing his declarations.

Dear Editor, The Stabroek News Editorial of Tuesday May 21 invites the question of whether Guyana’s tourism is a glass half full or half empty.

Dear Editor, The first reaction, however misleading, is the absence of any specific reference to Heads et al of Queen’s College, Bishops’ High School in the same context of the Cyril Potter College of Education – regarding the duty-free concessions to educators, as reported in SN of May 17.

Dear Editor, Basically, the way I see it, a teacher teaches for five hours, three in the morning and two in the afternoon, Monday to Friday.

Dear Editor, I respond to the statement from GPL on the power outages affecting the Coastland and resulting power disruption.

Dear Editor, The CCJ will rule soon, although not soon enough, on the validity of the no confidence motion as well as the unilateral appointment of a Gecom Chair.

The results of India’s elections, held between April 11 and May 19 this year, are likely to be announced today.

Dear Editor: Has Guyana become such a heartless society? I ask this question because on Sunday evening on the bridge linking Church Street to North Road which leads into Orange Walk I noticed a walker (equipment used to support someone who can’t walk on their own ) partially in the pathway of vehicular traffic.
