If they don't raise revenue, where will they get money to wine down low?

SCS raking in the $$$,City Hall getting crumbs.

Rankaran should just go away. I have had enough of the Rank.

PNC slop can carrier like he jumping ship. I agree that the parking should be for a fee as the city is trying to raise revenue. By bringing in a 3rd party and giving them the bulk of the profit, thereby driving up the parking cost, they shot themselves in the foot.  They should have instead implemented a less costly system and people would be more willing to pay. 

DRUGB,

what do you get labeling posters on this BB ??

As a reminder i am not affailiated with no party not in Guyana or the ole USA.

I am shouting out to Amral and Raymond to step in,I think you are desrespecful.

Hypocrite! You say in one breath you're a capitalist and now you blame GT Mayor and Town Clerk for giving business to a capitalist company. You know damn well that capitalists' sole aim is to make PROFITS. Hence the high parking charges.

There's no doubt that the City Council cannot rely solely on rates and taxes revenues to carry out its mandate. It has to engage in other revenue-earning activities. Parking meters for example. Problem is, the Mayor and her like-minded cohorts made a bad decision in contracting Smart City Solutions. They should have made a decision based on open tender. Furthermore, they should have been more sensible and sensitive regarding the issue of parking fees.

Bhai,i am no Hypocrite,Capatilist aim is profits which are not huge as one may presume,it's a good system where Government isn't too much into business,there is a level playing field for any one who wants to start a business the fittest survive.

Patricia and King were duped by a Guyanese Brooklynite and a Russian Capatilist thinking the Guyanese population are fools charging US$1 per hour,while in the USA it's about 50 cents.The parking meter fiasco was crooked from the begining hence my call for their removal.

Your last paragraph is on target.

I would like to add there are different strokes for different economies,the people at City Hall are clueless.

President meets with Mayor to address parking meter implementation issues -Significantly lower rates likely

Feb 09, 2017 Source

Georgetown, Guyana – (February 9, 2017) Following the public outcry over the implementation of the parking meters project in the Georgetown, President David Granger, yesterday, convened a meeting with the City’s Mayor, Ms. Patricia Chase-Green and Town Clerk, Mr. Royston King at State House. Minister of State, Mr. Joseph Harmon, Minister of Communities, Mr. Ronald Bulkan and Attorney General, Mr. Basil Williams were also present at the meeting.

The Head of State made it clear that the Government is not inclined to usurp the authority of the elected Council nor interfere in the functioning this democratic institution as layed out in the Constitution of Guyana. However, it took heed of the concerns of citizens, so much so, that the issue dominated Cabinet’s deliberations on Tuesday. Nevertheless, he expressed confidence that with dialogue, a mutually acceptable outcome can be achieved.

President David Granger is flanked by Attorney General, Mr. Basil Williams and Minister of State, Mr. Joseph Harmon. Minister of Communities, Mr. Ronald Bulkan is at the extreme left Opposite the President are Mayor Patricia Chase-Green and Town Clerk Royston King.

“No one in the Cabinet is opposed to the need for congestion to be eased and for order in the City. We agree that the project could be helpful for raising revenue for the Municipality but only to the extent that it is not harmful to the public good,” President Granger said during the meeting.  The Head of State made it clear that the principled position of his Cabinet is to allow the Municipality to function as it was elected to do and Government will not replace one dictatorship with another.  However, he said a way forward that is satisfactory to the Municipality, Government and people of Guyana must be determined.

Y'all gon laff Gilly, but I think the Mayor would have got a far better deal if she had contracted Dr Bobby Ramroop's Queen's Atlantic Inc to supply parking metre services. Dem Ramroop people was merciful to ordinary Guyanese wid de contract to supply drugs to GT Hospital. 

It is interesting to see that Django is taking a more independent position on political matters.

To be objective here, it appears that GT is hard pressed for revenues and if revenues are collected and spent wisely, it could uplift the city to it's glory days.

The problem is that the city did not negotiate a contract in the interest of the citizens or visitor to the city. The parking rates appear to be unreasonable and will hurt ordinary citizens in the pocket book.

Ralph Ramkarran has offered $ 100,000 as part of a civil disobedience campaign to support the cancelling of this unreasonable tax grab for the city. PNC stand to hurt the most by this cash garb since their supporters are a majority of GT residents. PPP has already indicated that they will remove the meters if they are elected to office.

What were these elected City officials thinking when they signed this contract.

What is funny is that the AFC stated that they are neither for nor against these meters. What kind of silly position is that ?

The political circus continues in Guyana.

Rankaran actions helped those anti-koolie racists to rule over East Indian Brothers and Sisters of Guyana. I have no time to waste reading what is written.

I have to slap you on the wrist, my brother. I have observed that you have plenty time and opportunities to comment on what Ralph Ramkarran writes. Which contradicts the highlighted sentence. No offence meant.

Give the man a break Gilly Buddy. He is too busy organizing a new homeland for all the coolies in Guyana. So far he has a population of 2, myself included.

Ramkarran not only talks the talk; he walks the walk.

Just like his father used to do.  Boysie got beaten up a couple of times and even went to jail for the PPP.

As I said a long time before on this board the Rankarrans are protected by both hardcore Jaganites and hardcore Burnhamites.  They will always have their backs watched by either side. I have no time to waste listening to whatever any of them have to say.

I stand by with what I have said. 75% of East Indians of Guyana will support the peaceful creation of a sovereign independent country for Guyanese East Indians, Douglas who embrace their Guyanese East Indian Heritage and Allies of the Guyanese East Indian people.  It is not a matter of if we get our independent sovereign country but when.  It does not matter if I do not live to see that day come. Future generations of East Indians of Guyana will witness that day. That I can guarantee.

Great to see Ralph protesting. He feels passionately about this issue. The PNC led City Council is making a huge mistake. This will also hurt the PNC party as whole.

What are these PNC politicians thinking ?

Bhai Prash,

An Indostan state separate from Guyana will not happen. Guyana is already an independent country and as such it is not possible in having an independent state within an already independent country.

Please do not get me wrong here.

What is important is that Guyanese rid themselves of the bias of race that has divided the country in a constant battle of tit for tat.

I do see future generations getting rid of this bias and living side by side in harmony. This will happen as soon as the current generation of old school politicians eventually leave this earth and rid it of the burden of race.

Yuji22, as I said before. You cannot rule a people who have fought over 300 hundred years to be ruled by their own.  East Indians are only putting their existence as a people on the South American continent at great risk if they continue to foolishly believe this. If little Anguilla can separate from an independent St kitts and Nevis then East Indians of Guyana, douglas who embrace their Guyanese East Indian heritage and Allies of the Guyanese East Indian people can also have their independent sovereign country peacefully.
