President Irfaan Ali has lashed out against the claim made by Georgetown Mayor, Ubraj Narine that he is starving the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) of resources.
In a riposte, the president yesterday, in a release from his office, stated that the government has no intention of allowing itself to be used as a scapegoat when the M&CC fails in fulfilling its responsibility and mandate.
“Let me be very clear, this Government cares tremendously about our city, but we will not allow ourselves to be used as a scapegoat in the city not fulfilling its responsibility and mandate or in the city converting everything into political opportunism or a political football. As President, we’re not going to allow the Mayor to get away with a statement like this,” Ali asserted.
