Has the new Govt. overlooked City Hall for fiscal inspection?

Sep 12, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
I have observed that the new government, since coming into office in May of this year, has effected a number of forensic audits and commissions of inquiry to investigate the goings on at several state agencies and quite rightly so.
However, they seemed to have overlooked the Mayor and City Council of Georgetown for fiscal inspection, an agency well known over the last two decades for being culpable for every financial impropriety possible.
One wonders whether this is an oversight, or whether it is deliberate bearing in mind that this municipality has been governed for the last twenty one years by the majority by Councillors that belong to the governing party.
Whatever the reason, with the Local Government elections looming large, it is important for the government to step in quickly.
It would be a mistake of monumental proportions for the Government to hand over the three hundred million dollars to this Council that has budgeted for the rehabilitation of Georgetown. It would be an early Christmas for the boys.
Indeed, even without that, there is a spending spree currently underway at City Hall, with contracts being handed out left right and centre to friends and family.
Come on Mr. Minister of Communities, save the citizens of the capital from the wanton pilfering of taxpayers’ dollars.
