Dear Editor,
There is a well-known biblical phrase that says, “The end is nigh!” which refers to a potential apocalypse or the end times from the Christian Bible.
It is safe to say that the end is near for ‘The Fantastic Four’, which ran roughshod over the citizens of Georgetown and their opponents at City Hall for the last three years.
With November 12 fast approaching, with the requirement of having the Council dissolved at least one month before, and with the looming retirement of others, persons should keep a close eye on the possible further ransacking, plundering, looting and pillaging of whatever assets remain there by the departing vice lords.
Who knows, there may even be the attempt to resurrect the motion that was tabled many years ago for Georgetown City Councillors to receive a pension — a most ridiculous proposition that was confined to Georgetown exclusively; or they may try to raise from the dead the parking meter scam that will see a few persons who have an interest in its implementation benefiting going forward.
An interesting exercise the ‘Bigwigs’ of City Hall should undertake would be to list their achievements and the benefits derived by the citizens for the last three years: the roads repaired, the bridges built, the complete rehabilitation done to the municipal markets, the improvements to the Constabulary and security in the city, the drainage improvements, street lighting installed, social development in the city, the increases in day care services, the financial audits carried out, etc.
As they say in Guyana, ‘Nah mind how pumpkin vine run, he must dry up one day’.
Sincerely,
Sean Levius
