“CLEANING of after Mash garbage should take some time,” said acting Town Clerk Carol Sooba yesterday during a telephone interview with the Guyana Chronicle.Sooba disclosed that there are several teams working along the routes which the parades followed on Mash Day.

“The teams that are active in the cleanup exercise are compliments of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Prison Services and the City Council,” she said.
She added that the City Council has one truck which is being used in the exercise and this is thanks to the money collected from the sale of Mash Day vending spots.
According to Sooba, “Mayor Hamilton Green and Deputy Mayor Patricia Chase-Green collected the people money illegally, by falsely selling vending spot; they promised it would contribute to the cleanup and up to now they haven’t contributed even a cent towards the exercise.”
Therefore, she urged that impatient persons who are dissatisfied with the progress of the cleanup exercise should contact the Mayor and Deputy Mayor for an answer.
