Georgetown: People’s National Congress Reform member Pandit Ubraj Narine was Wednesday afternoon re-elected to the post of Georgetown’s Mayor when election among Councilors was held at City Hall.
Councilor Alfred Mentore was also re-elected to the post of Deputy Mayor and longtime Councillor, Oscar Clarke will continue to head the Council’s Finance Committee.
The three were elected to the positions with the full support of the APNU and AFC Councilors while the PPP Councilors abstained from the votes.
At age 28, he intends to continue his efforts to develop the Council’s work while ensuring better services are provided to the citizens of Georgetown.
The Mayor-elect told the media at City Hall that the focus for 2020 will be on refurbishing the City Hall building, the restructuring of the Stabroek Market and proper management and disposal of garbage.
“I want to see a different Stabroek Market where people can go and relax, I do have a proposal which I currently submitted to the Ministry of Communities, to NICIL (National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited) and we need central government blessings so that we can go ahead with that proposal to restructure Stabroek Market,” the Mayor said.
The Mayor also called for more support from the administration of City Hall, given the numerous ups and downs for this year.
“As the year has passed I must say I would not have made it without my fellow Councillors and officers who place hand in hand to make this year all it was. We had our ups and downs, countless misunderstandings to agree and many more, raise our voice bile with anger, yet we are here and yet we had another year of success,” the Mayor said.
