Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Nigel Dharamlall has signaled that central government would be moving to restore the historic City Hall building.
Dharamlall told Stabroek News that while it is recognised that it is the mandate of the Mayor and City Council to get the job done, it was decided that it would be best for government to begin the restoration due to the municipality being badly mismanaged.
He said this next week would see a review of a study done and works will begin this year, provided that they can act on the work done so far.
