More than two weeks ago, the office of the Mayor of Georgetown was broken into and several files containing important documents are now missing.
City Hall
The break-in was confirmed by a senior Police rank who told Guyana Times that an investigation was launched.
He noted that from all indications no other items were removed from the office. The Mayor as reported in a section of the media confirmed that documents relating to the Local Government Commission were stolen as well as other documents. He noted that he has all confidence in the Police to investigate and bring the perpetrators to justice.
He stated that the perpetrators gained entry to his office via a window from his washroom. He told the media outfit that as a result of the break-in, he instructed that the windows be barred, since there were no cameras.
Since the Mayor took office some time ago, he has had to cross many hurdles, and on more than one occasion, he has been at loggerheads with senior staff at the Council.
Only recently, the Mayor approved a $4.4 million surplus budget to be used in key areas in the city. Also, only last week, the Mayor was in the spotlight when he asked his personal assistant to accompany him to Trinidad and Tobago.
He later told the media that his assistant would have paid for her ticket and other expenses.
