Corbin, Lall, Linden Council meet to iron our core issues

Jan 15, 2011 News

Leader of the People’s National Congress Reform and of the Opposition, Robert Corbin, yesterday met with Local Government Minister Kellawan Lall, Councillors of the Interim Management Committee, the Town Clerk of Region Ten and Regional Chairman Mortimer Mingo at the Regional Chairman’s Office in Linden.
That closed-door meeting stemmed from several concerns raised about the management of the municipality in that region.
It sought to clarify the roles so that the Municipality can move ahead.
The Interim Management Committee is a body that is expected to represent the people of Linden. Upon its conclusion both the Minister and Opposition Leader expressed satisfaction that the core issues have been identified.
Corbin recognised that the true role is to provide service. He expressed genuine concern for Lindeners.
A decision was also taken for Regional Chairman Mortimer Mingo to play a key role in further ironing out issues of the Linden Town Council.
Corbin also spoke to the fact that he is ready to fill the six vacancies in the council; theses vacancies are as a result of people who are either sick or would have resigned.
Based on the internal wrangling, the Minister and Corbin have agreed with the Minister that there will be a meeting and training will be facilitated next Thursday at the Minister’s office all in the name of improving the lives of the people of Linden.
This process is also expected to bring an end to the problem of Solid Waste Disposal!
Minister Lall, during the closed-door session, argued the point that he does not try to control staff even though he is sometimes accused of it.
Ernest Elliot, Orin Gordon and Henry Rodney were also present at the meeting.
