Not even one from the present City Council should be re-elected

Nov 30, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
Local Government elections are finally to be held in March 2016 as announced by the Minister of Communities and I know that this has been welcomed by most if not all.
As a citizen of Georgetown I am delighted that this election will be held and I know that some amount of fresh breeze will be bestowed on the Council of Georgetown thereby they will be new persons, new ideas, young visionary people with zeal and zest to move this municipality forward.
I therefore wish to say that the present councilors on the City Council would have served more than they have anticipated and so far many of them have become complacent and lackadaisical of their duties. In fact I think most of them have reached the point of saturation to the extent that they are burnt out.
Having been around for over twenty years they would have reach the stage similar to the PPP/C regime at the last elections and so people want a change and are looking forward for this current set of councilors to step aside and gave the reins to another set of Guyanese who are willing and ready to work for the betterment of the municipality.
The information I have received is that the current Deputy Mayor Ms. Patricia Chase Green has the aspiration of becoming the next mayor of Georgetown but I must say she is not the most suitable candidate for that position , while I have respect for her as a community leader and one who is involved in the political arena  I am not satisfied that she is ready for the position of Mayor for the city of Georgetown since I had the opportunity the most unprofessional behavior meted out to staff members of the City Council and she seems to lack diplomacy and becoming the mayor of Georgetown would be a slap in the face of the citizen of Georgetown.
As a concern citizen I would urge citizen would urge persons within the municipality that they should vote wisely come Elections day in March 2016, we want to see a change in the City Council those who would have served their time and made their contribution should move on gracefully and gave other people a chance.
It is time for fresh and new ideas as we seek to rebuild and reshape the city of Georgetown and its environs.
