City council still paying for security at Hamilton Green’s home

More than a year after a bill was passed to allow former mayor Hamilton Green to receive pension benefits, the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) is still funding the security services at his private residence.

This issue was raised by People’s Progressive Party/Civic councillor Bishram Kuppen at the last statutory meeting of the M&CC, last Monday. Kuppen noted that although the benefits of the Hamilton Green Pension Bill became effective on April 1 last year, a decision taken by the council to provide security services to Green until his “benefits issues” were resolved was never reversed.
