IF there was ever a university to teach squandermania, unaccountability, irresponsibility and ignorance, the City Hall would qualify hands down.

To look at the make up of this place would show that those who work there should be farmers, uneducated and working in the Rupununi Savannahs. Through some by-law this place was made to take care of the city, but it has been prostituted by illiterates because of this thing called democracy and hence everyone has a vote and can tell educated people how to run things no matter if they run them into the ground. Give certain people money to handle and they get wild. What has happened to the last Town Clerk? Isn’t she under investigation? And this new one – is she capable of running such an organisation? Look at the Treasurer’s Department, isn’t it under investigation? A one time treasury head is doing well in private business on the highway in south Georgetown near to the Sports Complex. Isn’t there some way that we can get rid of the City Council? How much are the salaries of the Mayor, deputy and other workers in the council? What were their assets before 2000?

From the records in the office of the City Hall can we know if these individuals have paid up their annual taxes? Could we have a read out of the properties each one owns and when was it acquired and price paid? This is not too much to ask. It is done all over the world especially now that the USA has a law for the President who is spending taxpayers’ money like crazy.

Is it true that he has already laid the keel for the largest aircraft carrier which will be named Bommer? “You get it for nutten you eat it like a glutton.” It is sad to see this once proud nation is on its way down. God help America.

As I said, there is no audit company here in Guyana which can give an honest report on the state of the City Council for all the players are either connected by relations or deep set affiliations. Only by hiring an organisation like the RCMP to look into the alleged corruption in the City Council will the people be satisfied.
