There will be no more Interim Management Commit-tees (IMCs) and no handpicking of councillors by government for Local Democratic Organs (LDOs).
The Department of Public Information said that this was stated by Minister of Communities, Ronald Bulkan, on Saturday, during a Local Democratic Organ Consultative Committee meeting in Region Five, Mahaica-Berbice.
Bulkan said the coalition government is committed to changing the political culture from one of centralised governance where “the winner takes all” to one of empowering democratically elected people with the right to make their own decisions.
