Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan was directed today by Cabinet to immediately suspend the operation of the By-Laws, which governs the Parking Meter Project.

A statement from the Ministry of the Presidency on Tuesday night noted that Minister of Public Security, Khemraj Ramjattan was also instructed to advise the Commissioner of Police to ensure that as of Wednesday, March 22, 2017 citizens and their vehicles would receive the protection of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) to prevent them and/or their vehicles from being unduly hindered or restrained in any way, whatsoever by employees of the Georgetown City Council and its agents.

According to the statement, Cabinet today deliberated on the actions taken by City Hall, which refused to execute the order of government to suspend the project for three months to allow for the review of the agreement. The statement noted that Cabinet was disappointed with the lack of action taken by the City Council.

    It is time for the Government to show the M&CC who is the Head, despite the protest and lack of consultations with stakeholders they continue to pussy foot around the issue. Let them now receive the foot where it is unpleasant for them to bear.
