Siparia Mayor Doodnath Mayrhoo says he intends to press ahead with plans to host a J’Ouvert celebration and cultural extravaganza for the borough’s anniversary celebrations in June, despite opposition from People’s National Movement (PNM) councillors and a United National Congress (UNC) alderman who voted against funding music trucks and a band for the events.
Speaking at a press conference last week, Mayrhoo accused opposition members of attempting to “stifle” the progress of the Siparia Borough Corporation through political manoeuvring ahead of the 2027 Local Government Elections.
