Mayor of Georgetown Ubraj Narine has accused the Ministry of Local Government of seeking to micromanage the Georgetown City Council after it asked that status reports, including information on finances, be submitted on a monthly basis.
Narine made his position known to Local Government Minister Nigel Dharamlall after he received a memo from the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Local Government, Prema Ramanah-Roopnarine, requesting that the council submit several reports as part of new reporting requirements for municipalities.
Narine in his letter, stated that “I will concur, if you can point me to the legislation which demand such.”
