-Town Clerk clashes with City Mayor
The Ministry of Local Government yesterday denied a claim by the Mayor of Georgetown, Alfred Mentore that it was involved in the removal of vendors on Sunday from outside Demico House and the Discount Store.
Support for the ministry’s position has also come from Town Clerk Candace Nelson, underlining the rift between her and the Chief Citizen.
In yesterday’s report in Stabroek News on the removal of the vendors, Mentore was reported as saying: “The advice that was given to me by the Town Clerk [was] that she was getting the Ministry of Local Government to assist in dealing with clearing up of the bazaar to restore it,… but then it turn out that they remove the people from the Discount Store who had to be removed anyway,” he said.
