The Guyana government has begun taking control of more than 50 streets in Georgetown, with plans to expand the move to vacant lands and public spaces across the city.
Attorney General Anil Nandlall said the decision was driven by what he described as longstanding mismanagement and failure by the Georgetown City Council to fulfill its responsibilities. He argued that the intervention is necessary to restore order, improve infrastructure, and address what he called a “national disaster” in urban management.
The government has indicated that the takeover will be carried out in phases, beginning with roads and extending to other municipal assets. Officials say the goal is to rehabilitate public spaces, improve sanitation, and create a more organized urban environment.
However, the move has sparked significant political backlash, with critics accusing the government of overreach and undermining local governance.
