New Amsterdam Deputy Mayor facing no-confidence motion
The New Amsterdam Town Council is grappling with an internal struggle as attempts are being made to move a motion of no confidence against Deputy Mayor, Harold Dabydeen.
The motion also seeks to have Dabydeen cease to carry out the functions of Mayor (ag)/Deputy Mayor.
The motion, which was moved by Councilor of the People’s Progressive Party, Samuel Fraser, was, according to some councilors, a ploy to cause confusion.
Some officials of the Town Council said that there is no basis for the motion. The sources said it was not properly put, not properly done, and never circulated.
Of the seven councilors in place, five are from the PNC/R and two from the PPP.
Deputy Mayor, Harold Dabydeen
Dabydeen has been Deputy Mayor for close to four years.
Mayor Claude Henry is on leave and out of the country for the past five weeks.
And in another development, a new Town Clerk has been appointed for New Amsterdam.
Sharron Alexander was expected to take her new appointment from the October 1, taking over from Town Clerk (ag) Merlyn Henry.
However, Alexander reportedly only received a fax on Monday afternoon notifying her of the appointment. She will take up the post on Monday.
