UNDER management of the IMC, the Anna Regina Town Council has received a much-needed computer from US-based Guyanese Mr Dindyal Narine.

This computer was reportedly requested by Councillors Harry Persaud and Abrahim Baksh of the Interim Management Committee [IMC] after the council had reported at a statutory meeting that there was need for computers in the finance section and the municipal treasurer’s office. The Councillors immediately set to work to seek assistance from kind-hearted Guyanese overseas to make a donation to the Town Council.

Mr Abrahim Baksh, who presented the computer to the council on behalf of Mr Dindyal Narine last Friday, said the overseas-based Guyanese, who is his relative, responded very quickly to the request for a computer for the council.

Mr Baksh said that having the computer would greatly assist employees in the finance section with their work. He expressed gratitude to Mr. Narine for the donation, and the hope that more kind-hearted Guyanese overseas, and large businesses in Guyana, would come forward and help the Anna Regina Town Council to computerise its operations, especially its rates and taxes section. In this technological age, the council is still using some large ledgers to compile rates and taxes accounts.

Region 2 Chairman Mr Parmanand Persaud, who witnessed the presentation, also thanked the overseas-based Guyanese for giving back to his community and country.

He called on employees of the finance section to care the computer and use it to enhance the work of the council.

On behalf of the Council, IMC Chairman Mr Toolsie Narine thanked Mr. Dindyal Narine for the donation of the computer, and said the council is desperately in need of more computers to upgrade its operation. He, also, echoed a call for more such donations from kind-hearted persons.
Town Clerk Diana Critchlow also thanked the overseas-based Guyanese for the computer.
