At a statutory meeting held yesterday, Georgetown Mayor Alfred Mentore asserted that lands along Carifesta Avenue designated by the government for a Qatari hotel belong to the city and President Irfaan Ali will be written to on the matter.
In an uproarious meeting where PPP/C councillors launched blistering attacks on him, Mentore sought and received support from a majority on the council to engage the President.
The council is also moving to issue a cease order against the work that is getting underway on the NIS and GNS grounds for a US$300m resort.
