City Mayor rejects claim of deliberate flooding

Ubraj Narine

City Mayor Ubraj Narine yesterday dismissed as “nonsensical” and “utter foolish reasoning” allegations leveled against City Hall that it was responsible for flooding in  Georgetown yesterday since the APNU+AFC-dominated council instructed operators to not open the kokers.

“I don’t know what political gimmick this is…and I find it very disgusting and distasteful that they, government ministers, are moving on this way to politicize this issue,” Narine told Stabroek News.

“It is just nonsensical and utter foolish reasoning because they claim our base is Georgetown. Why would we want to flood anyone and even more ever want to flood our base and ourselves?” he questioned.
