The Local Government Commission (LGC) has accepted the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into operations at City Hall and will be forwarding the report to the Guyana Police Force to facilitate investigations into possible criminal wrong-doing by Town Clerk Royston King.
Stabroek News spoke with several commissioners who indicated that following a four-hour meeting the LGC decided to immediately implement the recommendations made in relation to King. Additionally both King and other officers against whom disciplinary action was recommended will be given an opportunity to defend themselves in the coming week.
“I believe that Justice Kennard did a comprehensive job but the commission intends to be cautious as we envisage challenges. King will be given an opportunity to make representation on his position in fact all nine officers will be summoned to the LGC to defend themselves against the charges laid in the report,” Commissioner Marlon Williams indicated.
