PNCR backs suspension of NA Councillor

Oct 10, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor

PNCR supports recent decision by the New Amsterdam Mayor and Town Council to suspend one of its members The People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) wishes to correct the recent misinformation
circulating concerning the suspension of Councillor Carol Trim-Bagot by the Mayor and Town Council of New Amsterdam.
The PNCR notes that certain members of the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPPC) are inaccurately suggesting that the decision to suspend Councillor Trim-Bagot was a unilateral act taken by His Worship the Mayor of New Amsterdam. The PNCR wishes to firmly clarify that this suspension was a collective decision made by the Town Council and ought not to be attributable to the Mayor.
The PNCR stands in full support of the actions taken by the New Amsterdam Town Council. The PNCR finds that the decision was made in accordance with the council’s bylaws and is intended to
restore order, maintain the integrity of council proceedings, and allow for those elected to serve, to do so with the decorum, grace, dignity, and humility the office requires.

Councillors are elected to represent the interests of their constituents, and as such, it is imperative that they conduct their duties professionally, respectfully and collaboratively. The constant
disrespectful and disruptive behaviour exhibited by Councillor Trim-Bagot has hindered the council’s ability to function effectively. The PNCR sees this suspension as both lawful and necessary to ensure that the council can focus on the pressing issues facing the township without further disturbances.

The PNCR urges all members of the public and our political counterparts to refrain from spreading misinformation. It is crucial that we support a conducive environment for debate and decision-making within the council, free from personal agendas and unfounded accusations. The PNCR calls on all fair-minded Guyanese to stand with the New Amsterdam Town Council. Together, we must prioritize the interests of New Amsterdam and work towards creating a
productive and harmonious local government system not only for New Amsterdam but throughout Guyana.

Regards
People’s National Congress Reform
