Educate people of the evils of squatting
Dear Editor, It is very necessary that squatters and would-be squatters are educated as to the evils of squatting and, in this regard, the courts and the media need to do more.

Practically all mining, forestry, agriculture and other [...]

Child abuse and little support
Guyana has placed much emphasis on the rights of children and spouses.
