DEAR EDITOR,

I have noted with some consternation that for the past two weeks, at least, three of your Sunday feature writers have been unashamedly militating against the main political parties that are contesting the upcoming elections.
The distressing thing about this is that each one has written denouncing the leaders and parties that are contrary to their race. This must surely give the impression that these writers are intent on influencing the electorate to register their votes along racial lines, which must certainly be unacceptable at this stage of our history.
This also demonstrates that these writers, who have previously taken pains to have us believe that they are impartial, are indeed one-sided, if not downright racist.
One of those against Bharrat Jagdeo, and the PPP, who claims to represent the labour sector, has now come out brazenly and displays what must be an ulterior motive. The other, who claims to possess wisdom from his past experience, now exposes his true hand and proves that he is also one-sided.
I am also surprised that the editor and publisher of this newspaper have allowed this political campaigning when, from my close association with them over the years, I know that they have worked assiduously to have an independent and impartial organ.
I hope for all who exert some influence over the populace to be impartial, and not allow their individual and biased preferences to influence our people at this time, when we need to foster good judgment and impartiality in the coming pre-election period.
Yours sincerely,
Roy Paul
