–?? ? Deputy MayorThe garbage pile up at the Stabroek Market SquareChaos ensued at City Hall,Authentic NFL Jerseys China, yesterday, as the Mayor and City Councillors struggled to reach consensus to resolve the growing garbage piles in Georgetown.Based on a motion by Mayor Hamilton Green, a majority vote was subsequently taken by councilors, in favour of restoring the contracts to workers hired to clear the city of garbage.Several weeks ago, Town Clerk (Ag) Carol Ryan Sooba terminated the deal of two waste disposal entities,Wholesale China Jerseys, which were contracted to collect garbage around the city. At yesterday’s proceedings,Cheap Jerseys USA, Sooba again advised the Mayor and Councillors that the council does not have the authority under the law to reinstate contracts of terminated workers as they see fit.Addressing councillors present at the statutory meeting, Deputy Mayor Patricia Chase -Greene noted that the garbage situation will lead to “a serious health crisis.”The situation,Cheap NFL Jerseys, she says,Wholesale MLB Jerseys, is due to a premature decision taken by the Town Clerk (Ag) to terminate workers, contracted to clean the city.“The Town Clerk some time ago decided to terminate Cevon’s Waste Management and Dartmouth and Skips contractors without clearly planning what alternative systems will be put in place to avoid a serious health crisis.“Now I am bombarded with calls about the garbage piles around the city, I visited the Stabroek Market area I was approached by minibus operators and stall holders as to the condition of Stabroek market.”Greene explained that a decision was taken to hire contract workers to help clean the city despite the accessibility to more equipment at that time. “Council still could not manage the solid waste pile up in city even then.”The Deputy Mayor said that the Public Health Department and Ministry of Health are now tasked with ensuring that a health crisis does not occur as a result of the garbage situation.“What is happening now on daily basis is micromanaging of the city of Georgetown, by the Local Government Ministers …Therefore the incompetence lies at the level of the Ministry. The Solid Waste Director now has the responsibility to say how competent he is to manage the situation in the city.”The Town Clerk (Ag) was notably absent from the meeting. PPP Councillor Kamla Devi Ross said that the city is a much cleaner place than it ever was. She lauded the efforts of the Town Clerk (Ag) and the Solid Waste Director in managing the affairs of the city.Recommendations were made by Councillor Parbodial Sattan, for the markets to be temporarily closed until the areas are clean.As a result, Solid Waste Director, Walter Narine, was called upon to give a practical explanation on the way forward.? By then Sooba had joined the meeting and refused to allow the Solid Waste director to address the council.She said that the request of the council is impromptu, thus putting the Solid Waste Director in a precarious position to respond.Following a verbal disagreement amongst the councillors, Narine thereafter told the council that the solid waste department lacks the equipment needed to clear the city of garbage.He informed the council that the city currently has two trucks and a tractor/trailer to cater for the various zones in Georgetown. Sooba then warned the Mayor and Councillors that they do not have the authority under the law to reinstate contracts of terminated workers.Her actions sparked a heated debate and a few councillors walked out of the meeting.However, Mayor Green says that since the council does not have the capacity to facilitate the garbage situation the contract workers should be urgently reinstated.All contractors should be put to work to redeem the city.
