(Guyana Chronicle) HEAD of State President Donald Ramotar last Friday at a press conference, disclosed that the idea of an Interim Management Committee (IMC) as a replacement at City Hall, until local government elections are held, is one which he is “still thinking about.”At the press conference which was held at Office of the President, the President noted that for City Hall to be efficiently and effectively engaged meaningfully, “there needs to be much more maturity.”

He further explained that “it is very clear that there seems to be no intention, regardless of which branch of Government the Opposition is in, to see development of any kind,” while noting that he thinks there is a general pattern of being “obstructionists.”
The ‘tit-for-tat’ situation which has manifested at City Hall between the Administration and the Council since the appointment of acting Town Clerk Carol Sooba, has resulted in no real progress being made at the institution, while the needs of citizens remain neglected. As a result, the idea of an IMC replacement was birthed.
In this regard, the President noted that: ““…the idea of[an] IMC has been on the agenda for a long time. I have not decided as yet, I am still thinking about it…. there are many considerations to look at.
He further highlighted that: ““…I think what is desperately needed is recognition that the people who are suffering are ordinary people and we need to work in their interest.
