Something has to be wrong at City Hall

Nov 20, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
Something has to be seriously wrong with the workers of the Georgetown Municipality, who allow the City Council to abuse them month after month by leaving them hungry, without money to pay rent, to pay for electricity, to pay their hire purchase companies or to send their children to school, whilst the Mayor and an entourage spends millions flying from continent to continent for no good reason.
Something has to be wrong with the Councillors who except for a few, sit meekly around the horseshoe table and are disrespected by the Mayor and the other members of the Fantastic Four, who prevent them from seeing the notorious parking metre and other contracts, who refuses to give them details about the overseas trips including who are the members of the delegation.
Something has to be wrong with the Legal Affairs Committee which agrees to re-engage with the sordid ‘Sex and the City’ case after the King and Queen of the City deliberated perverted justice.
Something has to be wrong with the government which is apparently contemplating bailing out again, a municipality as reckless as Georgetown that fails to have their books audited or its accounts qualified.
Something has to be wrong with the private sector who allows themselves to be harassed by the Council, to pay special refuse collection fees, shipping container charges, to increased licensed fees, whilst the dog food, bottled water and rat poison sellers are given a free reign to ply their trade without paying a cent to the city.
Something has to be wrong with the citizens of Georgetown who live among garbage heaps, move along unlit pot holed roads, with an increase in vagrancy, with rat infested markets, with pickpockets and robbers everywhere, whilst quietly paying increases in property rates, fines and municipal fees most of which is used to fund the gallivanting by the Fantastic Four travelling from Europe to Asia to South, Central and North America.
Something is wrong with the City Council.
Sincerely,
Shanta Singh
