Chief Citizen Alfred Mentore says that a letter has been sent to President Irfaan Ali urging him to heed the city’s concerns as it relates to the construction of the Qatari hotel on disputed lands along Carifesta Avenue, Georgetown.
He told Stabroek News yesterday that the Head of State was given a seven-day timeframe to respond to the concerns of the council regarding the construction on lands that the city said were bequeathed to it more than 130 years ago. The Guyana Lands and Survey Commission has emphasized that the lands are under the control of the state.
Mentore said that he is anticipating a timely response from President Ali before the council’s next statutory meeting which is scheduled for Monday, March 11.
