Rose Hall Mayor accuses Holland of disrespect after criticism over Town Clerk’s hiring

Vijay Kumar Ramoo

The Mayor of Rose Hall Vijay Kumar Ramoo is incensed that President of the Guyana Association of Municipalities (GAM) Carwyn Holland was bold enough to reprimand his council for its recent hiring of a Town Clerk at its statutory meeting on Wednesday.

“He was disrespectful to this council and I intend to rebut him publicly and in writing. He asked to visit as a courtesy and in my absence dominated our statutory meeting for two hours so he could deliver a political speech. That is unacceptable,” Ramoo told Stabroek News.

According to Ramoo, in appointing a Town Clerk the council acted no different than the Ministry of Communities has acted in making urgent appointments of local government officers across the country, including in Region 10.
