Questions for the Town Clerk
Dear Editor,
I have read a recent report in the local press captioned ‘City Hall reviews relationship with delinquent contractors’ which goes on to state that the Town Clerk Royston King is concerned about these delinquent contractors who were provided with tools and other resources and already paid by the Council, but who are callously depriving their workers of their pay.
If this report had come out a week earlier, I would have been convinced that it was a sick joke by the newspapers for April 1st, All Fool’s Day. The audacity of King is unbelievable! Which contractors is he talking about? These supposed contractors are relatives and friends of some Councillors, a few who returned to this new Council, and to the Senior Officers including a contractor well known to king. Is he expecting professionalism and sincerity from these persons?
Was it not Mr. King who awarded these contracts, tools and equipment to these persons whom he knew had no prior experience, or standards to maintain, but who were in the project for a quick pay. What City Hall needs to review really, is how one man, whose experience is in selling food and lending money, keeps getting all of the contracts, without even tendering for them, all of which are worth tens of millions each, Can the the Town Clerk.
