Jaikarran gives up markets committee chair over lack of cooperation from City Hall

Former Deputy Mayor Lionel Jaikarran has resigned from the post as Chairman of the municipality’s Markets and Public Health Committee.

Jaikarran, an APNU+AFC councillor, confirmed his resignation last night and said he decided to resign due to a lack of cooperation from the council’s administrative body.

“I resigned because I realised that there was nothing I as the Chairman could do to possibly make a difference when the entire system is stacked against you. It is like banging your head repeatedly against a reinforced concrete wall,” he told Stabroek News.

Jaikarran declined to go into further details.
