The Georgetown Mayor and City Council (M&CC) is now seeking legal advice in an effort to recoup $10 million from F&H Com-puter Supplies and Mer-chandisers, following the procurement of parts for two garbage compactors that did not meet the specifications of the council.

This decision was made at a statutory meeting held at the Kitty Market Conference Room yesterday afternoon.

The purchase of the parts was intended to elevate waste management efficiency within the city, however, the acquired parts failed to deliver as anticipated, leading to substantial financial setbacks and an increased burden on taxpayers.
