Bulkan rejects private sector’s claim of lack of consultations on metered parking

Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan has said that it is unfair for the Private Sector Commission (PSC) to accuse central government or the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) of not engaging or consulting the business community on metered parking in the city in light of efforts to do so.

The assertion that the city refused to engage businesses is being challenged by Bulkan, who yesterday released a letter which he said was evidence of efforts to engage the PSC even as he maintained an invitation to dialogue with the ministry and M&CC still stands. “I wish to make clear that the invitation for dialogue still stands. I believe that such dialogue is likely to be far more fruitful than confrontation, whether in the streets or via the media,” Bulkan said.
