The reckless spending of city Hall must be exposed

Aug 30, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
It is beyond the wildest imagination and rudimentary understanding of every levelheaded Guyanese as to why the Georgetown City Council would choose to recklessly expend close to three hundred million dollars on the Merriman’s Mall on an injudicious Presidential Park and chaotic mix of other things, rather than spending the same amount of the citizens taxes repairing a dilapidated City Hall building.
Somebody at City Hall certainly has his or her priorities utterly mixed up when they can chose to disregard the iconic Guyanese landmark, the fairytale like gothic architectural wonder, the headquarters of the Georgetown Municipality that has been crying out desperately for attention, and which they have responsibility for maintaining to opt instead to build a senseless Presidential Park, a project that if it were indeed worthwhile should be undertaken by the central government or an NGO and not a municipality.
Someone needs to explain to the citizens of Georgetown the reason why after many experts who examined City Hall and pronounced why the Big Wigs at City Hall would be so irresponsible as to leave that historic edifice to further deteriorate whilst trying to play political games with the money by building a presidential park, and a cluster of other equally meaningless structures that just clutters the mall.
This nonsense has to stop. Property rates are collected for specific purposes, not to be spent profligately by any one or two persons at the Council. Was this puerile project on the mall even budgeted for or approved by the Council? If it is not then the officer who is responsible for this insanity must be dealt with condignly

Mark… they have no ears and therefore cannot hear you.

It is customary that when people realize how much power they have, all sense and reason vapourize. Utter stupidity takes over accompanied by vocalizations that are silly as they defend their acts.
The TC fought to get that power and now realishes it
