Years after its initiation, the access road to the sanitary landfill at Haags Bosch, East Bank Demerara, is estimated to be 75 per cent complete, Head of the Georgetown Solid Waste Management Project, Gordon Gilkes, has reported.Addressing members of the media last Friday during a press briefing at the Ministry of Communities,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, Fort Street,Cheap Jerseys From China, Kingston, Gilkes said that the road was intended to have a 15-year lifespan but at present it is currently overstressed.The contract for building the roadway was signed in May 2009, by the former administration with H.

He is pleading with the relevant authorities to look into this matter, so that he could get his life ‘on track’.

…but failure to assent to Bills could cause “collision” – GrangerLeader of the Parliamentary Opposition Brigadier (ret.) David Granger is hopeful that a more equitable and democratic local government system will be realised through the combined support of A Partnership of National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC).Speaking at a People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) press conference last week, Granger said that since the November 28, 2011 elections “we are now capable, more capable than before, of ensuring that the will of the majority is represented and that the voice of the people could be heard.”In this regard,Cheap NFL Jerseys Store, he said that some of the Bills that were before the Ninth Parliament will in fact be brought back to the 10th Parliament. Parliament is set to come out of recess today and according to Granger “we will use the support of the vote which has been given us, between the AFC and APNU,NFL Jerseys China, to ensure that we have a more equitable and more democratic local government system.”He pointed out that the political opposition will seek to use its voting strength to make sure that the people of Guyana have Local Government Reform in accordance with their wishes adding that “we will do what we have to do at the level of the National Assembly and I am confident that after 18 years we are going to get Local Government Reform through the National Assembly…”According to the Leader of the Parliamentary Opposition, he has no fear that this mission will be achieved allowing for Local Government Elections that is done by a fairer system and does not have the intrusive role of the Minister of Local Government. This, by extension, Granger noted, will also guarantee that there will be proper funding for the municipal and local government bodies.In commenting on the need for the President of the Republic to assent to Bills, Granger asserted that there are intervening mechanisms that can be engaged, even as he highlighted that “the president does not have absolute dictatorial powers, so he is obliged to conform to certain requirements of the National Assembly.”According to Granger,Cheap China Jerseys, if the President fails to assent to Bills submitted by the opposition,Cheap Jerseys, not only will he have to show cause, but it could in fact lead to a “collision” which could see other government business being affected.“We have had this problem before during the 2012 budget and we are better prepared to deal with the resistance and opposition by the People’s Progressive Party. The lessons we have learnt from the previous parliament is that the two opposition parties have to continue their collaboration and this is what we are doing.”Granger disclosed that APNU is in touch with the AFC,China Jerseys NFL Wholesale, a strategic move that will ensure that the legislative agenda of the two parties could be harmonised so that “when we go to the National Assembly the will of the majority is reflected in the votes that are taken.”The last nine months of parliament, Granger said, have been very edifying to the parliamentary opposition and “we are confident that we will be able to maintain momentum of the cooperation that was evident during the budget and the other measures we brought before the National Assembly, such as the vote of no-confidence in Mr. (Clement) Rohee.”“These things are possible because of cooperation between the two opposition parties,Wholesale NFL Jerseys,” Granger added.Meanwhile, he said that the opposition is currently seeking the support of local lawyers and international bodies to help in its quest of drafting its own Bills. According to Granger, the opposition has thus far spoken with the United Nations Development Project, which is obliged to collaborate with the Government of Guyana. However, he noted that this is a work in progress.“We are aware of the problem of drafting our Bills and we are seeking help, but it is a work in progress.”
