Councillors of the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) yesterday passed a motion for City Engineer Colvern Venture to resume his duties as City Engineer, pending a recommendation from the Local Government Commission (LGC) on whether he should be sanctioned for failing to hand over duties to his deputy before he proceeded on leave.
The Public Works Committee of the council had recommended that Venture remain on the job but not perform any duties associated with his post until the LGC recommends the way forward.
The recommendation did not sit well with some councillors and after much deliberations, APNU+AFC Councillor Denroy Tudor moved a motion at yesterday’s statutory council meeting for Venture to resume his duties and for all persons acting during his absence to return to their substantive posts pending the LGC’s decision.
