The Local Government Commission (LGC) has written to the Auditor General to conduct a forensic audit of the accounts of City Hall, as recommended by the recent Commission of Inquiry (CoI).
However, no efforts have yet been made to contact the police or the State Assets Recovery Agency (SARA), which had also been recommended by the CoI.
Speaking with reporters at the inauguration of the new council, LGC Chairman Mortimer Mingo noted that while a referral to SARA was recommended, the commission is intent on allowing the officers accused of wrongdoing, such as Town Clerk Royston King, to first defend themselves.
