MS. CAROL Sooba has been confirmed as Town Clerk of the Georgetown Mayor and City Council (M&CC), Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon announced yesterday.Luncheon was probed about Sooba’s appointment at his weekly post-Cabinet press conference at the Office of the President in Georgetown. But did not provide any details on the appointment and Minister within the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development, Mr. Norman Whittaker could not be reached for comment. He holds the responsibility for overlooking the country’s municipalities.

This newspaper’s efforts to contact Mayor Hamilton Green and Deputy Mayor Patricia Chase-Green for comments were also unfruitful.

When contacted yesterday, Sooba told the Guyana Chronicle that she was officially appointed on December 2. She said such an appointment was expected as over the past months, she has had “to take up the City Council from zero.”

It is only “justifiable” that she would be allowed to work in that capacity, Sooba opined, adding that she was happy to get the opportunity to continue working to make the City Council better.
