International environmental groups should direct their tirades to the developed countries
Dear Editor, I wish to refer to an article in the Monday July 5, 2010 edition of Kaieteur News, captioned, “Guyana among countries named as UN is warned about corruption”. The other countries mentioned in the correspondence are competent enough to make relevant responses, but permit me to address some serious misrepresentations which have been [...]
Why is the Indian political critic a traitor?
Dear Editor, At every turn, a powerful truth is emerging in this nation. Simply put, any political critic of the PPP of Indian descent is castigated by the PPP and branded as a betrayer and traitor. And the attacks do not stop with words. They are getting bolder and more maniacal by the day. Freddie [...]
THE VERANDAH AND THE PORCH
A VIEW FROM INSIDE OUT The driver was quiet soon after we pulled off from the airport. Judging from his nervous looks during that first ten minutes of driving, I presumed that he was trying to concentrate on his driving and was therefore, very much unlike your typical Guyanese driver, not keen on conversation while [...]
It’s our right to meet as the people’s representatives

The vicious cycle of crime and poverty
Child abandonment is a common feature these days. Parents are developing the same attitudes of the lower animals. They are producing children, nursing them until they are able to walk and then moving on to go about their business until they are ready to produce another offspring. This is responsible for the many young deviants [...]
Minister of Agri. announcement troubling
Dear Editor, The recent announcement by the Minister of Agriculture that they will drain the conservancy into the Demerara River instead of the Mahaica/Mahaicony creeks is rather troubling given the current flooding in the Grove/Diamond area. One wonders if such an attempt by way of a dry run, or maybe I should say wet run [...]
