President Granger needs to investigate City Hall

Oct 13, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
Why is it that the Georgetown City Council has opted to contract out all of its services even though it claims to be cash strapped whilst at the same time maintaining a huge employee database of approximately one thousand workers? Could it be that the Big Wigs at City Hall are getting kickbacks from these contractors whilst at the same time finding employment for their friends and family within the Council?
In years past, the Council had a special Roads Division that was responsible for building and maintaining all of the roads in the city except for the primary highways. Today they do no such thing so then where does that budgeted sum go? In the past, the Council replaced all defective street lamps ensuring that the city remained safe and well-lit. Today they don’t even check let alone replace the defective lamps so where does the amounts budgeted for street lighting go?
They have a City Constabulary but they engage the services of a private guard service costing tens of millions a month. Why? They have a General Works Division to repair bridges and buildings, yet bridges are collapsing around the city and the municipal building are all in a ruinous state, and yet they have the nerve to declare publicly that they will be tearing down private dilapidated buildings. Can the President not see how incompetent, corrupt and disgraceful the administration of the Georgetown Municipality is and have a Commission of Inquiry formed to investigate why our capital is in such a mess?
