IMC replaces Anna Regina Town Council
“I wish I could have come here under better circumstances.”
Those sentiments were uttered by Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Ganga Persaud, and directed to the 16 Councilors who were installed to sit on the Anna Regina’s Interim Management Council (IMC).

The IMC will replace the Town Council which has been disbanded.
According to Minister Persaud, although the Anna Regina Town Council was fully staffed and had performed well and was ranked high, Local Government elections had not been held since 1994.
He urged the new councilors to acquaint themselves with the market’s by-laws.
Tulsi Narine is Chairman of the IMC while Harry Persaud will function in the position of Vice-Chairman.
Other members of the IMC are Walter Elliot, Joan Austin, Wilton Isaacs, Portia Jacobs, Chetram Harry Persaud, Darshan Persaud, Hakeela Khan, Munshewar Singh, former Mayor Sammy Rampersaud, Ibharim Baksh, Pooran Persaud, Rajendra Prabulall and Gary Williams.
The Local Government Minister reminded the IMC that their duties would be more of a voluntary service to the people, especially on the Essequibo Coast. He also urged them to exercise tolerance and patience.
