Dear Editor,
The above caption was pontificated by the Hon. Juan Edghill, Minister of Public Works, a few months ago, after observing first-hand the wanton erection of shacks and other hazards on the roadways.
I wish to bring to the authorities’ attention that construction has started on a barbecue hut outside the fence of the St. Pius Church on Middle Road, La Penitence Georgetown. Passing there this morning, I observed that a permanent concrete structure has been erected. You need to see this to believe it.
Are we suggesting that the Inspectors in the City Engineer’s Department are complicit, lazy, or downright reckless? How can this be?
The lewd and vulgar activities that prevail their nightly; imbibing, marijuana smoking, gambling, you name it. Father Monty is at pains to keep his congregation in line, the smell of urine blowing across the church on Sunday is mind-boggling.
Bishop Edghill, I am asking you to wear the hat of the Bishop you are at this time. Be the no-nonsense campaigner you are and act. THIS LAWLESSNESS CANNOT CONTINUE!
Minister Dharamlall, whom I know personally has both Christian and Hindu connections, this is disrespect of the highest order. Sir, please act NOW.
Mayor Narine and the City Council leave much to be desired in this regard. Several of his Engineering staff traverse Cemetery Road, including City Engineer Colvern Venture and Miss Jerrick, under whose watch this sore was birthed.
It’s inexcusable to allow our places of worship to be desecrated to this extent without any redress in sight.
I am asking you two Ministers of the Government, PLEASE STOP THIS LAWLESSNESS FROM GETTING OUT OF CONTROL.
Regards,
Ronald Shepherd
