In face of prevailing problems at City Hall

Both City Mayor Hamilton Green and Deputy Mayor Robert Williams have extolled the Burrowes Commission of Inquiry report as comprehensive and meritorious.

Green has been on record for criticising the length of time the Burrowes Commission of Inquiry took to complete the report, despite the Commissioner explaining, ad nauseam, that he was not engaged in a ‘cosmetic exercise’, but that he was committed to producing a document that could catalyze necessary changes for efficient and efficacious operational methodologies in the management of the city’s affairs.

In an invited comment yesterday, Mr. Burrowes, who is seeking medical attention overseas, was again unapologetic for the delayed report, because he reiterated that he was intent on a holistic approach to expediting the mandate for which he had responsibility.

The Guyana Chronicle has learnt from reliable sources that Mr. Burrowes distributed all the emoluments provided for the report to the executing staff, especially within the city treasury, who assisted with the initial interventions by the Commissioner to restructure the city treasury to assist the department in performing its duties more efficiently.
