Siparia Mayor Doodnath Mayrhoo says plans for a J’Ouvert celebration and cultural extravaganza to mark the borough’s anniversary celebrations will proceed despite objections from PNM councillors and a UNC alderman over funding for music trucks and a band.
Speaking at a press conference a few days ago, Mayrhoo accused opposition members of trying to “stifle” the progress of the Siparia Borough Corporation ahead of the 2027 Local Government Elections.
According to Mayrhoo, the council is evenly split between six PNM representatives and six UNC representatives, with UNC alderman Victor Roberts siding with the PNM on several votes.
