While there are signs that talks on the huge debt owed by the city to Puran Brothers and Cevons Waste Management have been bearing fruit, dissonance continues even as the garbage crisis in the capital may be worsening.
Earlier this week sections of the media published reports attributing to City Hall’s Solid Waste Disposal Head Walter Narine likely time lines for a return to garbage disposal duties by Puran’s and Cevons only for the latter to issue a short, sharp media release asserting that it had had no engagement with the Georgetown municipality on the matter of returning to garbage disposal duties in the capital.
Several months ago City Hall had publicly announced that it was dispensing with the services of the two companies after they had temporarily withdrawn from disposing of garbage in protest over their protracted failure to secure any meaningful response on the matter of the liquidation of the debts.
