Farmers must produce more in Guyana
THE issues of food demands globally seem to be escalating almost on a daily basis.
Many will agree with me that no one will starve for food in Guyana. However this is the time when the government must encourage and promote the nation’s farmers to produce more…
We all endure hefty price increases in fuel globally […]
Employers must ask for valid proof of age
FIRST, I thank you for the editorial on Child Labour in your May 7, 2008 edition, under the headline, “Desist from employing Child labour” which printed inaccurate information. Yes, the Ministry is very serious about this matter and will be vigilant on behalf of our children.
I would like to clear the misinformation about the […]
Open up savannahs
THE government has advised Guyanese to grow more food. Well we have the Guyana Marketing Corporation (GMC) selling rice at various locations. What will happen next? Will they start selling groceries next? I know that the President is a very tired person, but I think the time has come for him to open up the […]
Drainage trench needs to be dug
WE, the residents of Triumph Front Lands (north of the public road) many of whom are retired public officers are now finding it very difficult to enjoy living in this area whenever it rains heavily.
The drainage trench leading from the Triumph station to the outlet koker had always been dug annually and the earth therefrom […]
PNC jumps on any type of wagon
The PNC/R is not improving on its policies at all. The fact that the party was so desperate to hold a demonstration on Labour Day is a clear indication of its tactics to jump on any type of wagon to get its point over.
This to me was intended to gain political mileage and shows […]
Impressed with drainage works
I think it is time for all citizens to appreciate the input being made in drainage especially ahead of the May/June rains which are apparently already upon us. Just the other day I read about the activities in the various areas to help minimise the risk of flooding and I am impressed with the […]
Continue probe into corrupt officials
I NOTICED that the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) has sacked three more of its employees for alleged corrupt practices. This is a good move by the GRA because I think this is the only way we could get rid of corrupt officials who give an entire entity a bad name.
I still believe that there might […]
Tractors guilty of leaving trail of mud behind on the road
I WISH to draw your attention to a problem on the West Demerara roadway. I think if the authorities do not look into it quickly, we may get some serious accidents on the very road.
For some time now, I have noticed an increased number of tractors using this road. I am not suggesting that they […]
Do something about flour price
ACCORDING to the newspapers yesterday, the National Milling Company has announced increases in the prices of flour of various weights. The company cited rise in the price of wheat for the increase locally.
From what I have read this has come about because wheat farmers abroad have been getting a big pay off to grow corn […]
Guyana Telephone and Telegraph appeals for public’s help against vandalism
THE Guyana Telephone and Telegraph (GT&T) is again appealing to public spirited citizens to be vigilant and aid in the protection of facilities provided for their convenience and security.
This appeal follows yet another act of vandalism in which a span of fiber cable was cut and taken away at Harlem/Bladensburg, West Coast Demerara, a release […]
