NDCs at Industry/Plaisance, Number 52/74 Village replaced with IMCs

Oct 31, 2012 News

The Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development has dissolved two Neighbourhood Democractic Councils (NDCs) and replaced them with Interim Management Councils (IMCs).
According to government, following a public inquiry to dissolve the Number 52/74 NDC and install an IMC at East Berbice, Corentyne, last week Tuesday, a new IMC was sworn in.
Norman Whittaker, Minister within the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development, “provided words of encouragement” to the 15 newly-sworn in councilors including appointed Chairman, Rishiram Moti.
Also at the ceremony were Regional Chairman, Permaul Armoogan; Deputy Regional Executive Officer, Bhadase Poonai and other Local Government officials.
Meanwhile, due to the depletion of the elected members in Whim/Bloomfield and Port Mourant/John NDC, eight new councilors were appointed to Whim/Bloomfield and five councilors for Port Mourant IMC by Whittaker.
Similarly, Minister Whittaker, last Wednesday, also installed an IMC to replace the dissolved NDC of Industry/Plaisance.
Addressing 13 of the 14 councilors present, including appointed Chairman, Seedath Persaud, the Minister challenged them to view their appointment as a necessary response to the hue and cry of residents for the introduction of fresh blood with new ideas and renewed energies.
Minister Whittaker charged the Council to extend and to improve the quality of services they deliver and be ready to deal with issues that affect their everyday lives, including drainage, road maintenance, vending, cattle grazing, weeding of school compound, among other things.
