Costa Rica’s Herediano claw back to secure a 2-2 draw with Alpha
Alpha ‘The Hammer’ United failed to capitalize on a 2-0 lead nearing the end of their match against Costa Rico’s Herediano and had to settle for a 2-2 draw when the two teams clashed in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League qualifiers at the National Stadium Providence, last evening. The result meant [...]
The major political parties failed this country
Dear Editor, When one looks at Guyana and looks also at Mauritius, one truly understands how the PNC and the PPP failed us. That is why is it so important that more of our people discontinue from thinking race and vote for change. We encourage the people to ask themselves that hard question – [...]
Chicken in Guyana at $350 per lb, chicken in USA at $261 per lb
Dear Editor, Apparently there is a chicken shortage in Guyana (“Chicken shortage to ease by mid-September” KN, August 3, 2011).

The reality may be something else
Dear Editor, In its Peeping Tom Column of 3 August, 2011, a not-unexpected agenda of the KN/Peeping Tom seems to be emerging as translucently and compellingly clear as when the sun rises over the Pakaraimas on a clear, crisp morning. I am of this view because of the following. The KN informs that in the [...]
Parents shouldn’t have a say on who their children vote for
Dear Editor, Parents have a huge impact on the lives of their children either positively or negatively. However, they should not have a say on who their children vote for in the coming elections. Young voters should be fully aware of the background of the political parties and the presidential candidates, their good, bad and [...]
