Acting Town Clerk of Linden Lennox Gasper said that the town council didn’t follow the correct procedures concerning the submission of applications for the position of town clerk, which is currently “contentious”.
Gasper told Stabroek News that while the Linden Mayor and Town Council contends that there were six applications for the position of town clerk, they were not sent to the Local Government Commission (LGC) nor LGC Chairman Julius Faerber but instead to Mayor Sharma Solomon.
“The advertisement specifically stated that the applications must be sent to the address of the Local Government Commission which is 6 Oleander Avenue, Bel Air Park, Georgetown, Guyana and to the Chairman as well…” the acting town clerk told this publication.
