As outgoing Mayor of Georgetown, Ubraj Narine, prepares to conclude his five-year term in office, he is urging the new council to stand strong on transparency and accountability once in office.
At a press conference at City Hall yesterday, Narine acknowledged the incoming mayor, Alfred Mentore and councillors, while charging future leaders to address current issues and work towards a more inclusive and supportive framework that will allow Georgetown to flourish.
In his address he related the factors which hindered Georgetown’s development during his time as mayor. He also mentioned the many challenges erected against the council by the present government’s limiting of resources which impeded their ability to fully realise the city’s potential.
