City Hall seeking to source funds to pay staff for December

The cash-strapped City Hall is currently seeking to source finances to pay staff for December as well as outstanding balances to contractors.

Mayor and City Council (M&CC) sources confirmed to Stabroek News that the administration was only able to complete payments to staff for November yesterday, a day before the December payment date.

For the past several months, the city administration has been finding it difficult to source the much needed revenue to pay staff and cover other overhead expenses.

Acting Town Clerk Sharon Harry-Munroe yesterday told Stabroek News that the administration is currently in discussions with several delinquent ratepayers and organisations to have them settle their outstanding balances.
