CABINET Secretary, Dr. Roger Luncheon yesterday observed that Georgetown Mayor, Hamilton Green’s long-term association with failure has apparently not prompted any disinclination on his part to abandon his “recklessness.”
“That his recent and ongoing eruptions will achieve little is a certainty…being one of repeated bouts, confrontations, reversals and indeed more abject failures,” Luncheon said.
He was speaking at his usual post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the President, in Georgetown.
INESCAPABLE FACTS
“There are certain inescapable facts surrounding the situation at City Hall. Some of them include the following: the service offered, the services provided to the residents and taxpayers are, to put it mildly, unacceptable, and to go further, atrocious.
“The level of incompetence, the specter of corruption that is uncovered, serial investigations and reports is of an alarming proportion.
“The Government and the government’s bailout have over the years been consistently providing and have gone beyond the notions of a subvention. Recently, the budget measures revealed government’s intention to make as much as five hundred million dollars available for urban measures to deal with the garbage problem.
Luncheon also noted, “The Mayor and his utter contempt of public opinion and sadly, his apparent difficulty with recognising the rejection of Guyanese of his own time, PNC brutal, brutism, bullyism and intimidatory behaviour and practices.”
