Dear Editor,

The PPP allowed people to set up a business even in a quiet residential area. They did not care if the neighbours didn't like it. The AFC will have to come down hard on these businesses and force them to move.
The goal of the afc/apnu was to do a superficial job at cleaning GT then revert to old stinking ways of the city. No long term goal was in mind, just a euphoric gesture to satiate their supporters temporarily before returning them to reality.
At no time in the history of the PPP regime did Georgetown look so clean. Should this come as a surprise? Visitors from India would have instantly felt at home with the mess that the PPP made and left in Georgetown. But now that the place looks and smell clean the PPP saying it isn't good enough.
Not so fast buster, there seems to be lots of underhand business, going on by the PNC/AFC of issuing contracts for doing this job..........nothing is being advertised, it is just like jobs for the PNC boys.
With no accountability.

They already reducing water pressure at peak hours in GT. Watch out for water shortages.

The water conservancy is at an extremely low level due to the recent dry weather. They have to take measures to conserve water or you clowns will be crying if there is no water left and taps are turned off. I guess the Government is to blame for nature bringing them dry weather.
Water restrictions are common even in North America. I can water my lawn twice a week and wash my car on any day when the conservancy level is normal. In extremely dry weather, the city will only allow the lawn to be watered one day a week and we will be limited to the same one day to wash the car.
The test for how clean the city is comes when the rain starts. But give APNU-AFC the Credit. GT is starting to look better. I saw it 1.5 mths ago. This is the kind of stuff the PPP refused to do. Which self-respecting govt would want to see their capital city stink? And allow pushers to build to spoil the architecture? Clean up the damn place. Economic growth might be improved, also.

Quit with your BS !! Cleaning and other services to Georgetown were, and still are, the responsibility of the Mayor & Town Council ... not the govt. Go ask that old hoodlum Green and his henchmen what were they doing over the past years. How come they have suddenly become so enthusiastic about cleaning up the mess that they should have attended to years ago ?

Please see my response to Mr. T above. Sanitation on the city has always been the responsibility of the Mayor & Town Council; not the central government so APNU/AFC did not then and does not now have anything to do with that so ..... Green is the one who should be held to account.

Warmer winters, like dry seasons in Guyana, might be seen as a benefit to some.
But in cold countries, lack of snow [and water runoff] causes water rations in the summer and its getting worse, due to climate change.

Was it not the PPP in the guise of Sooba who ran GT until she was chased out of the building after the election? And is it not so that Hamilton was kept in his position by the PPP? Don't go spreading lies again. The PPP and Hamilton Green ripped off the citizens of GT over more than two decades.

There is a drought, so clearly they have to conserve water. They have told the public this.

This is the PPP screaming their nonsense as usual. In fact they blame the PNC, when in fact the party which won the LGE in 1994 no longer exists. This is to show how ridiculous the LGE situation became under the PPP.
Keffer posted:TK posted:..... Green is the one who should be held to account.
How could he have been held to account when the PPP refused to hold LGE, and were more interested in a coup using Sooba as their stooge.
Did G/T get better under Sooba? Obviously NOT!

Sooba did a fabulous job standing up to that old brigand Green and his bullies. Do not forget that Green is and has always been an incompetent administrator and a pillager (have you forgotten that he stole metal sheet piling from the city to reinforce the boundaries of his personal property ?). "Hamilton was kept in his position by the PPP" .... how dishonest can you be !!

Yes, it did !! Sooba refused to make payments without proper documentation and accounting; were you sleeping when Green and his thugs were trying to bully her ?

How so? G/T remained as filthy as ever, until Granger won the election, and THEN we saw the beginnings of change.
Sooba was incompetent and corrupt, but no surprise given that she is a PPP.
Keffer posted:Yes, it did !! Sooba refused to make payments without proper documentation and accounting; were you sleeping when Green and his thugs were trying to bully her ?
She engaged in her own level of corruption, while the city remained as stink as ever. So bad that rotting human bodies were visible in the burial ground. And caiman and camoodies became full residents in parts of G/T. And I don't just mean the edge of the city either.

Listen young man, I worked at the City Engineers Dept, the taxes they collected, the fees collected from the market ,building construction etc are supposed to maintain a clean city. Hammie held the PPP at ransom by keeping a poor city and with holding services, he allowed the unlicensed street vendors to operate, sending the constabulary to collect bribes, at Easter Hammie and his boys would sell spots on the Sea wall to vendors, and this was all CASH in their pockets. End of last year I was in G/T, the place is stink, still with lots of garbage everywhere, I did not stay long because of safety.Someone can start a good recycling business, there are tons of plastic containers everywhere.

1) "She engaged in her own level of corruption, while the city remained as stink as ever". ... elaborate on this please. What was her position and therefore what was her mandate/responsibility ?
2) "So bad that rotting human bodies were visible in the burial ground. And caiman and camoodies became full residents in parts of G/T." ....was it the Town Clerk's responsibility to manage the labour force of the city ? ...again, was burial routine at the cemetery in her mandate ? What was Royston King doing at that time ?
Enquiring minds want to know ....

Given the prolonged dry season and depleted water reserves in the city, conservation/rationing of water is indeed advisable.

It is evidently quite a formidable task to get you to understand simple things ....maintenance of the city is the responsibility of the Mayor & Town Council; not the government ! Quit your BS about " the mess that the PPP made and left in Georgetown".

The same people who kept it dirty are the same ones cleaning it up now .... MCC. They deliberately allowed garbage to pile up to make the PPP gov't. look bad. The City collects taxes and are responsible for sanitation. The Central Gov't. gave monies to the City but nothing ever gets done. Now, they are cleaning up to make APNU look good. This whitewashing of GT is good but would not last.
Why you think Granja gave Hammie the terrorist an award? For his good looks? Was payback time.

Skelly..Hammie is probably the oldest surviving in the pack,let him have a lil award nah bhai,let him feel he contributed.
I met him a couple of times when he was Prime Minister always shows respect,first time i spoke to him on his red phone,when ever we were there he will tell the maid bring some refreshment these boys.
I can say more bhai,this is not the place to do that.
So because he fed you during the dark days of the PNC you are still seeing him as an angel. The murderer should have been hanged a long time ago.

kp posted:. Hammie held the PPP at ransom by keeping a poor city and
You can scream all you wish about Hammie. He was elected in 1994 as a GGG, NOT a PNC candidate. Do you even remember what GGG was?
He did NOT run on the PNC platform, and in fact became very friendly with the PPP in order to spite the PNC. His plan was to split the black vote, and then deliver his share to the PPP in the 1997 election. This angered his GGG support base, which fled back to the PNC.
Had LGE elections been held Hammie would have been voted out, because the PNC would have fielded another candidate.
Hammie's GGG became extinct.
Blame the PPP for this state of affairs, and cease screaming about hammie. He is a PPP creation, because LGE was not held.
Keffer posted:Mr.T posted:is the responsibility of the Mayor & Town Council; not the government ! Quit your BS about " the mess that the PPP made and left in Georgetown".
And it is the responsibility of the PPP for keeping Hammie in power, because they failed to hold LGE. Had they done so Hammie would have LOST, regardless as to which party he ran under.
In fact its likely that the PNC, fearing a loss to Mark Benschop, or some other entity, would have reminded Hammie that he was not elected as mayor as a PNC candidate, so they would have had no obligation to keep him.
Scream and jump with your Indo KKK wails, but the fact remains that the state of G/T and all the municipalities is due to the PPP. In fact in MOST cases the local gov't has ceased to function, with PPP managers being left to run the show. carol Sooba being the one for G/T.
skeldon_man posted:Why you think Granja gave Hammie the terrorist an award?
To get rid of him.
Hammie is NOT going to cause trouble, trying to galvanize what is left of his support base to attempt to split APNU.
kp posted:What he did to Shirley Field Ridley?? .
And thanks to the PPP a known murderer was allowed to run as mayor, and was kept in power because the PPP refused to hold LGE.
skeldon_man posted:The murderer should have been hanged a long time ago.
But Janet was too busy playing best pals with Hammie in order to split the black vote for the 1997 election. Too bad for them that all she accomplished was the end of GGG as its base ran back to the PNC, determined not to be used by the PPP.
Indeed this is the PPPs frustration. That being their inability to split the black vote, and by doing so, winning control over G/T.
