Georgetown – President Bharrat Jagdeo and Leader of the Opposition and PNCR, Mr. Robert Corbin, M.P met at the Office of the President earlier this week to discuss a number of issues of concern, particularly the functioning of the Linden Town Council and the development of the Linden community. The meeting arranged at the request of the Leader of the Opposition was intended to resolve the continued interference in the management of the Council at Linden by the Ministry of Local Government which has led to almost a state of anarchy.
The meeting also addressed outstanding issues relating to the appointment of the Constitutional Commissions. Among the matters agreed was the early appointment of the Human Rights Commission. The Leader of the Opposition will shortly submit a list from which the Chairman of such a body would be identified.
