Fed up with rampant corruption in Neighbourhood Democratic Councils

Apr 15, 2018 Letters

Dear Editor,

The citizens of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana are fed-up with the rampant corruption at almost every twenty-seven (27) Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs) which operate under the Local Government Act Chapter 28:02. The functions of those Councils are to provide services; (1) Sanitation, garbage disposal, roads dam, maintenance, market facilities, burial grounds, abattoirs, drainage, recreational ground. (2) To maintain and protect public property. (3) To levy and collect rates.
Many are of the belief, that those offices have been created, for embezzlement of public funds, whereby the servants involved goes scotch free and the villages suffered shabby or no works at all. It is the right time for the relevant agencies, such as the Ministry of Communities, Accountant General Office, Ministry of Finance and the Auditor General Office, to put their acts together and stamp out this fraud.
This is the only option to make our country, a better place.
