No G/town IMC for now- Minister Ganga Persaud

Georgetown : Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Ganga Persaud verified that Central Government has not started any process that will realise the setting up of an Interim Management Committee (IMC) at the Georgetown Municipality.
Minister Persaud was at the time responding to questions put forward to him by the media pertaining to the report in the public that Central Government was considering an IMC for the Municipality.
This statement by the Minister came after word spread that main parliamentary opposition, APNU officials were on television urging people to turn up to City Hall to protest the installation of an IMC. They
 Minister Persaud said “in the setting up an IMC anywhere there is something that is called due process…and that process being specific to the Municipality of Georgetown has not commenced.”
He reiterated that, before one can move in the direction of IMC there are certain procedures which have to be followed and the first is to treat with all the options available.
“We are at that stage of discussing and deliberating on all the options and we have not ruled out any of the options as yet, but I must say that if the City continues to manage it affairs as it is doing now, …then yes we will have to accelerate our search for a solution with regards to how we will fix this seemingly established institutionalised mis-management of the affairs of the City,” the Minister said.
