Audit the City Council; you will find corruption

May 31, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,

So City Hall is broke once again! I hope no one is surprised. The gravy train with the biscuit wheels had to grind to a halt sometime. Now they owe the contractors except for one who is very close to a senior administrator, so soon there will be garbage everywhere.
They owe the security company that was not needed in the first place, but which was given a contract to supply over sixty guards to locations where the City Constabulary should have been posted instead of harassing vendors, without going through a tender process.
They owe the Guyana Revenue authority and the National Insurance Scheme whilst putting up grand but unnecessary edifices on Merriman’s Mall. They owe the workers who have not been paid in time for the 50th Independence celebrations. What a shame and disgrace.
They owe the Power and Water Companies, yet they have adorned the Stabroek Market with hundreds of bulbs further carrying up the electricity bill. How unintelligent.
All of this is happening and yet the promised forensic audit has not yet started. Does the government not yet understand according to Murphy’s law “things will go wrong in any given situation at City Hall, if you give them a chance,” or more commonly, “whatever can go wrong, will go wrong at the Georgetown City Council”? And that is because the administration there is run by incompetence, corruption, nepotism, favouritism and cronyism.
Will the Government continue to fiddle while Georgetown burns? Kindly do something. Carry out an audit, remove the incompetent and corrupt administration, in fact have a commission of inquiry about City Hall for the last 21 years.
