GINA today issued a release saying that the Bartica Neighbourhood Democratic council had been dissolved.
This is despite opposition by residents to such a move at a Local Government Ministry enquiry held in the township in April this year.
GINA said that in keeping with the Local Government Act, Chapter 2802, officials of the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development on May 24 formally dissolved the Bartica Neighbhourhood Democratic Council (NDC) and set up a 15-member Interim Committee (IMC).
GINA added that thirteen of the 15 members; Winston Miller, Ovid Benjamin, Edward Persaud, Clairmont Chase, Sandrine Harris, Shaneza Ramnauth, Trudy Nelson, Stephen Bell, Sookdeo Singh, Shatto Samuels, Clarence Bell, Nalini Barker and Kirk Skeete took their oath of office before Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Ganga Persaud, Permanent Secretary Collin Croal and Region Seven Chairman Gordon Bradford at the Bartica NDC office.
