After spending her weekend listening to the complaints from vendors living in her constituency, city councillor Andrea Marks staged a silent protest during yesterday’s statutory council meeting to bring attention to their plight.
Seconds after Mayor Patricia Chase-Green called the statutory meeting to order, Marks began to display two placards, which stated, “Royston King must go,” and “Has Royston King taken up from where Sooba left off.”
“I’m tired of making recommendations at this meeting and at Markets Committee meeting and seeing them still doing the same thing over and over,” Marks, who is a member of the Markets and Public Health Committee, told Stabroek News.
While Marks has earned her place at the horseshoe table as member of the APNU+AFC Proportional Represen-tational list and not as a constituency representative, she feels strongly that it is her duty to speak on behalf of the people of Constituency 6 (Cummings Lodge North, Central & South, Pattensen/Turkeyen South).
