City councillors question purchase of incomplete stun gun for abattoir

City councillors yesterday questioned whether taxpayers’ monies were being spent responsibly after finding out that an incomplete stun gun had been bought by City Hall for use at the municipal abattoir and so another one had to be purchased.

Councillors were informed yesterday that the first stun gun had come without ammunition and packing and so eventually the decision was taken to have another one purchased altogether.

“The council did indeed purchase a stun gun prior to now, and what was found is that the entire gun was not purchased. It had to get some ammunition and some packing,” Deputy Town Clerk Sharon Harry Munroe, who was filling in for Town Clerk Royston King, explained.
