Ubraj Narine

Georgetown Mayor Ubraj Narine has expressed disappointment with the City Engineer’s Department over its failure to properly carry out its duties.

At a press conference held yesterday, Narine said the situation concerning the valve at the Stabroek Market that had to be addressed by the Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill on Tuesday,  had been entrusted to the City Engineer, Colvern Venture.

He explained that Venture was directed to replace the valve and while he is unsure what Venture might have done when the task was given to him, he said  it was his responsibility to ensure the work was done since it is what he was being paid for.
