The Georgetown municipality is seeking to clear its debts with the National Insurance Scheme (NIS), the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the city credit union.
Town Clerk Royston King told a press conference on Friday that while all members of staff have been paid for December, City Hall has not been able to cover all their deductions, particularly those for the NIS, GRA and the credit union.
“We are working to bring that up to scratch,” he stressed before calling on acting Treasurer John Douglas, who explained that staff were paid by December 22nd and pensioners have also been paid since then.
