Inquiry finds misconduct, abuse of office by Town Clerk

Royston King

The Commission of Inquiry (CoI) set up to investigate the administration of City Hall has found that Mayor Patricia Chase-Green and Town Clerk Royston King “are not working in the best interest of the city” and has recommended that several officers, including King, be disciplined for abuse of office and other violations.

It has also been recommended that a forensic audit be conducted at City Hall by the Audit Office and that criminal charges be laid against defaulting officers if it reveals criminal misconduct

“Most of the woes of the city are due to mismanagement by officers of the council… if the main management team is incompetent, are we going to keep them in their positions?” Commissioner Cecil Kennard asked during the handing over of his report to the Local Government Commission (LGC) yesterday.
