Deputy Mayor as a martyr, who devoted his life to serving the Guyanese people, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Although he knew the dangers of the COVID 19 pandemic, he was very active serving his people until he contracted the virus, fell sick, hospitalized and later died.”
The minister also extended condolences on behalf of the President and Government of Guyana, and promised that the Williams’ family will be supported to the fullest.
Kaieteur News understands that Williams was a long-serving member of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic [PPP/C].
A few days after his demise, the party hosted a candlelight vigil, in his honour. Also in attendance was the Regional Vice Chairman, Umace Oudit, and other officials of the various NDCs.
After the procession had made its way over the Anna Regina High Bridge, the body of the Deputy Mayor was taken to his Hampton Court home.

Williams was elected as Deputy Mayor of the Anna Regina municipality following the Local Government Elections in 2018.
