The Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development will soon launch an audit of the Mabaruma Town Council, in Region One, due to its recent financial problems.
Ministry of Local Government Nigel Dharamlall informed council members of the move during a meeting on Wednesday in the region.
According to the Department of Public Information (DPI), Dharamlall said while the town council is relatively new, it is facing serious financial problems, hence the decision to conduct the audit, which may begin as soon as next week.
