Mayor of Bartica, Gifford Marshall (right), today, said that the date for the official Township Declaration Day has been changed from April 23 to May 7, after a meeting with President David Granger at the Ministry of the Presidency, where the new date was finalised.
A release from the Ministry of the Presidency said that the Head of State is scheduled to attend the signing ceremony of the COP21 Agreement at the United Nations Headquarters in New York this weekend and would not have been able to attend the Bartica event. Marshall explained that when this was communicated to Barticians, they insisted that the date be changed to facilitate the President’s schedule.
