Central government is not prepared to act against the Georgetown City Council for having passed new by-laws for metered parking, according to Minister of State Joseph Harmon.
Harmon on Thursday stressed that central government is committed to allowing the city council to govern unhindered even as he reminded citizens that they will soon have the opportunity at the upcoming local government elections to show the “city fathers and mothers” what they think of their actions.
“These decisions that are being made are well within the remit of the city council and, therefore, unless an approach is made to central government, we will prefer to allow the city council to do its work,” Harmon told reporters at a post-Cabinet press briefing.
