The first meeting of the new city council following the June 12 Local Government Elections has agreed the need for a full-fledged audit of its operations.
Chaired by new Mayor, Alfred Mentore, the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) meeting was held yesterday at the Kitty Market Conference Room. Mentore, who previously held the post of Deputy Mayor under former mayor, Ubraj Narine, said that works are in the pipeline to improve the lives of the citizens and sought the support of the PPP/C councillors to help build the city of Georgetown.
The meeting also saw the newly-elected A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and People’s Progressive Party (PPP) M&CC councillors deliberating on several issues currently affecting City Hall and Georgetown at large. Mentore, in his opening remarks, restated his commitment to turning a new page for the city, with a strong emphasis on propelling the City Council to new heights. He outlined a roadmap aimed at addressing longstanding issues that have hindered the city’s growth and development.
