With the city on the brink of going to court concerning the planned construction of a Qatari hotel on disputed lands along Carifesta Avenue, preparatory works appear to be continuing for the US$300 million project.

Chief Citizen Alfred Mentore when contacted on Sunday said that he and councillors are still conducting extensive research on the Guyana National Service (GNS) and National Insurance Scheme (NIS) which were bequeathed to the city over 130 years ago.

He said that the council’s attorneys are fully involved and once the research is completed, the Mayor and City Council  (M&CC) will be moving to the High Court.
