IF you ever speak or listen to the Mayor of Georgetown, Mr. Hamilton Green, you would understand what a hypocrite he is. He always wants to speak and lecture on moral values, decency and principles, none of which he possesses. He exploits every opportunity to portray himself as occupying the higher moral ground, that he’s above the ordinary man and that he is capable of leadership. However, no one buys his hypocritical froth.
Put modestly, at best he’s a failed leader. His achievements are less than nothing. Like his leader, Mr. Burnham, he took an institution and steered it into the depths of chaos. Not even hell is known for such chaos and evils. But what takes the cake were his most recent devious attempts to have millions of dollars in taxes owed by his wife’s business to the Georgetown City Council written off. Disappointingly, the opposition parties do not have an issue with this; maybe they’re waiting for Rohee to become the Mayor and then they will show some interest in City Hall.
Thankfully, the Town Clerk acting, Ms. Carol Sooba, let good sense prevail and brought the issue to the attention of the public through the media that (of course KN and SN would NEVER cover that)The Mayor wants a $9M debt written off for his wife’s business, he wants us to forget the millions that they owe to the City Council. This would mean giving him and his wife $9M, in addition to the land on which the business is occupying, which is a government reserve. The mayor is therefore guilty of squatting and conducting business on government’s reserve! Mr. Mayor, do you know that in Guyana squatting is a criminal offence? Do you know building on government reserve is also a criminal offence? Do you know that politicians who abuse their office for personal gain are routinely jailed across the world?
