2026/09/07

Minister’s Power Over Linden’s By-Laws | Guyana News

Guyana News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/09/07

Linden’s council can’t just make rules without the minister’s stamp — and that approval might be revokable, legally. The by-law process is a shared power: councils draft, ministers approve or reject. Without ministerial nod, it’s void. And while there’s no explicit “take-back” clause, the broader legal framework allows the approving authority to amend or cancel. So yes, the minister can revoke a toll — but that doesn’t mean Linden’s voice is silenced; it’s about oversight, not suppression.
