An excavator from MACORP that was been used by City Hall to effect drainage during the current heavy rainfall season has been vandalized, Mayor Hamilton Green said on Friday.
At a press conference held on Friday at City Hall Green said the excavator was put to work last weekend as part of the initiative to reduce flooding throughout the city.
The excavator was working on Consolidation Road leading to Lamaha Park and between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning parts were stolen. The mayor told the media that he has issued orders for the constabulary and the police to investigate the matter. “No leads will be ignored to find the perpetrators,” Green said.
The mayor also pointed out that the council is working hard to control the piles of garbage that have accumulated across the city, posing a serious risk to the drainage system. He made another appeal to citizens to desist from carelessly dumping garbage.
Meanwhile Acting Town Clerk Yonette Pluck said that 50 per cent of the $38.5 million owed to workers who are represented by the Guyana Labour Union (GLU) will be paid in their January salary. This was agreed when council representatives met representatives of the GLU on Tuesday.
Green also noted that the administration is in a mode of uncertainty while awaiting the report from the commission set up to investigate matters at City Hall.
These are the crasses we have to deal with living in this country!!! But something is definitely wrong because there are always night watchmen with these machinery wherever they are!!
This is nothing man!! Remember one went missing from GNEC and was found later on it’s way to the interior?? Another fell off the ‘offloading’ ramp and into the Demerara River. Why doesn’t a civic minded journalist take a gander down to the Kimbia graveyard or the Tiger Falls graveyard?? Better yet Hammie is looking for replacement parts???? He can go!!!!
WTF is the machine that is not even the property of the city council doing without guard(s)? is the council that broke boi? TAXPAYERS R PAYING BUT WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING? GREEN U OWN THE PPL MORE INFO. THE GUYANESE PPL R CONTINUOUSLY BEING SCREWED BY PUBLIC SERVANTS THAT HAVE US AS “TAXING PAYING SERVANTS”. THIS COUNTRY IS STR8 UP STRESS!!!. WHO SO EVER IS FOUND WITH THE PARTS, SHOULD B JAILED!!
Boy, some guyanese so cruel, they stealing parts from the machine that suppose to be helping them, whosoever it is i hope they are caught and put before the courts and stiff penalities instituted.

SN i’m sick seeing u deleted my comment, every time i make a comment on this incompetent blue.
SN is correct because you always make hateful comments. since you are so against comments about the govt, why don’t you remigrate and live a happy life in Guyana.
In typical Guyanese fashion, you see some thing and cant afford it so you have to steal it.
Guyanese dont realize the reputation they have in the carribean and north america about being thieves.
Mention that you are a Guyanese to an Islander the first words from their mouth is “boy can those people steal stuff”. Its embarassing and seem like Guyanese go to school to learn how to steal other peoples money and material belongings.
Its only a matter of time that they(Guyanese) learn how to steal your soul.
And by the same token, lets not forget that there are thousands of honest Guyanese out there.
I smell a rat. thieves would need time to remove parts from the equipment. where was the watchman ?
Incompetent is the mayor. That’s why his own party members want to run him out of his post.
