Governing coalition partner, the Alliance for Change (AFC) will not relent in its quest to have the controversial parking meters contract rescinded and has pledged to use its voice in City Hall through Deputy Mayor Sherod Duncan.
“That is our position, that the contract be cancelled,” Duncan told Stabroek News yesterday.
Leader of the AFC Khemraj Ramjattan had earlier told this newspaper that Duncan speaks on the parking meters deal for the AFC and reflects the party’s position. “Sherod is dealing with that…yes, he speaks for the party on that matter,” Ramjattan said.
Following widespread public concern at the manner in which National Parking Systems/Smart City Solutions (NPS/SCS) was given the go-ahead to install parking meters in the city, government ordered that a review be done to ascertain if there were any irregularities.
