Councillors urged to follow procedures

GEORGETOWN Mayor Pandit Ubraj Narine has called on city councillors to carry out their work according to the systems in place at the City Council.

He made the call last Monday, at the new council’s first statutory meeting at City Hall for 2019.
The 27-year-old mayor said he was looking forward to working as a team for the “betterment” of the city. “As I told the media before, I’m not here to build walls, but to build bridges.”

Narine said it has already been brought to his attention that officers of the council have been approached by some councillors. “Let us try to go through the right procedure to get our work done. There’s the town clerk and myself,” he advised.

He also urged that whenever there are events in the various constituencies, the respective councillors should be made aware by the relevant officers so that they may be present.
Narine also asked that he too be informed of the planned works, along with Town Clerk Sharon Harry. He stressed that teamwork would make the work easier.

Harry, in her opening remarks, said the administration also looks forward to working as a unit. She informed that a one-day orientation session is planned for the benefit of the new councillors.

Narine was elected Georgetown Mayor following the November 12, 2018 Local Government Elections (LGEs) and commenced official work in the new year.
