No street vendor will be removed – City Hall

The Georgetown Mayor and City Council (GM&CC) is refuting claims that it is planning on removing persons from vending around Georgetown.
In a statement to that effect, the municipality on Sunday said that it has been notified by concerned citizens that individuals, “bent on creating confusion and mischief, within the municipality”, have been mobilising street vendors to protest against the Council. 
“It is a wicked plot to use street vendors to stir up trouble against the city,” the M&CC said in condemning this. The Council has since made it clear that there is no plan to remove or prevent vendors from doing their business and making their livelihood.
The statement added, “All vendors need to understand that, those who are spreading these lies are seeking to use them for their own selfish interest. They care little about vendors, many of whom are females and single parents working hard to maintain their children and others depending on them.”
The Council said it is therefore appealing to the vendors not to fall prey to the “wiles of those, who are spreading lies to rile them up and cause them to lose business.”
