In what is becoming a yearly tradition the Mayor and City Council of Georgetown (M&CC) is offering defaulting rate payers an amnesty on the interest accrued on unpaid property rates. The cash-strapped city is also promising to pay all its workers by Friday.
President of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG) Carvil Duncan told reporters yesterday that Town Clerk Royston King has promised to put measures in place to see the workers paid their October salary.
King has also promised that November’s salary will be paid on time. Duncan and other union representatives had just concluded a meeting with the council senior management team.
