THE Haags Bosch landfill site is deemed an environmental disaster. Day by day Guyana has witnessed the ill deeds and monumental damages done to the City and State by the PPP/C Administration.
Recall the previous Minister, without any notice, began to use this facility even though he had received technical advice from knowledgeable persons. Hence, the Government mishandling of this important project and ignoring advice from consultants, the Contractor B.K. International was then forced to handle more than double the tonnage of waste being delivered.
Nonetheless, we were forced at additional cost to have our Solid Waste Contractors moved to Haags Bosch.
Of course, a PPP/C Government, not sober Administration, without knowledge of the duly elected Mayor and City Council identified which firms should execute solid waste.
Thank God citizens can look forward to relief now that we have a caring Government, a partly renewed Georgetown Municipality, the Business Community and Citizens on board.
It’s a long rocky road ahead, but we have started.
At a meeting several days ago with a group of persons of the Plaza Community, I mentioned to them that, it is like taking over a house with the infestation of rats, roaches, bats, etc. The mess has to first be cleaned up before full inhabitation, and citizens must be patient and appreciate the enormity of wickedness and incompetence that overshadowed us for over two decades.
With support of the above mentioned groups, I remain willing, able and committed to restoring a beleaguered city.

His Worship, the Mayor of Georgetown
