Dear Editor,
I am a People Progressive Party/Civic Councillor in the Mayor and Town Council of Linden. The minutes of IMC meetings will reveal three PPP/C and about ten People National Congress Reform councillors are active council members.
In my determination to serve the greater good of my community and country I single-handedly, most of the time, have to fight with and through the combined hostility of the ten to have my voice heard. The limited success that I painfully achieve comes from the strength that I draw from those citizens who are hurting from the uncaring acts of the majority.
My support comes from our struggling market vendors, who are paying for services that have never been rendered; and residents in the various communities in Linden who are dissatisfied with council’s failure to spend available funds (subvention) to improve the quality of the physical and social infrastructure. The employees in every sector over which council has responsibility spend hours with me, unloading their burdens such as unfair employment practices, etc.
There are out-of-control councillors who often abuse employees who are afraid to seek representation. There are councillors conducting business with council in clear conflict of interest. Half of the total mess cannot be told here, hence I invite all fair-minded and development oriented Guyanese to come and see for themselves, especially those with the authority.
Yours faithfully,
Eon Halls
