Communities Minister Ronald Bulkan yesterday said that neither he nor President David Granger were ready to name their nominees for the long-delayed Local Government Commission (LGC) and he maintained that in its absence the local government system was functioning effectively.
“The pace of local government reform and relevance is not being hampered or stymied by the absence of this commission. It is proceeding apace. There are issues but the local government agenda is going forward,” Bulkan told Stabroek News yesterday, over one year after he said that the LGC, a constitutional body, would be set up.
