Dear Editor,
Attorneys-at-law Roysdale Forde, Nigel Hughes, David Fernandes and Vidushi Persaud are names mentioned by Mr.Rawle Welch (Sports Reporter) who he believes, possess the credentials to serve as President of the GOA (Guyana Olympic Association) in his published KN report dated Sept.14, 2016.
That was brilliant of the writer to pen his choices and as I see it, the current President of the GOA is in for some serious challenge/s during the next elections. Those names are indeed serious contenders. The possibility now exists that the guard will sooner or later be changed and I sincerely wish everyone well. Hopefully, Guyana will be represented on the podium at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
To the athletes from Region 1 to 10, whatever comes out of the next GOA’s elections, respect the decision and keep working hard towards international stardom. It comes with major sacrifices, funding, discipline etc.
In the event I might not be available to pen a correspondence or have to be out of town, I take this moment to extend my gratitude to the current members of the GOA for their consideration in acknowledging my little contribution over the years in the fields. If any of the names mentioned above should lead the GOA in the near future, it’s a big ship with major responsibilities. Captain that ship well…

By Sir Ronald Sanders (Kaieteur News) – For generations, Kenscoff was where people from Port-au-Prince went to breathe. Its cool hills offered relief, and its farmers supplied the capital’s markets.

(Kaieteur News) – The Aussies are now on the bandwagon. Guyana is a world class mining place.
