-Town Clerk differs
The Mayor and Town Council of Linden (LM&TC) has expressed grave concerns regarding ministerial interference in local governance affairs and said that such actions serve to undermine the democratic principles that local councils were established to uphold.
Linden Town Clerk, Lennox Gasper however has disputed the LM&TC’s claims.
The LM&TC in a release on December 30, focussed on the recent actions taken by the Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Sonia Parag and opined that her actions constitute an overreach of her authority and undermine the autonomy guaranteed to local councils by the Constitution of Guyana.
