Georgetown :Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Ganga Persaud is calling on Georgetown citizens to make their voices heard and demand more from the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) as they seem to be taking the citizenship for granted.
The Minister explained that the Council is collecting taxpayers’ money and are misusing those funds, which is why Government has had to continuously inject resources to correct situations that the Council holds responsibility for.
“The Council seems to have given up on garbage collections but they have not given up on the collection of rates and taxes from the people…the Mayor needs to get his council together,” the Local Government Minister said.
He reiterated that citizens need to let their frustrations, particularly as it relates to the garbage situation, be known and not just leave it for the Government to handle and noted that the municipality, which is collecting rates and taxes, has to be held accountable by the people.
