The Mayor and City Councillors yesterday voted to have current Chief Engineer, Colvern Venture’s vacation leave postponed until the handover of the Engineer’s Department is complete and the Mayor receives responses to letters written to Venture months ago.
Georgetown Mayor Ubraj Narine, at yesterday’s statutory meeting, again expressed his frustration with the City Engineer’s Department and stated that after sending letters to Venture months back, he is yet to receive correspondence. “I will make mention in the public, I have no apology to make, that Mr. Colvern Venture is not acting in the interest of the city,” the Mayor said.
He went on to say that he has also been awaiting a report for about six months from the engineer to be forwarded to the Chinese ambassador, who wants to “engage the city”. “We are here to give the people the service they need and we are here to correct things and I make mention before, I am fed up with the Engineer’s Department, from the head to the tail,” Narine told the council.
