Dear Editor,
With the veritable epidemic of corruption that has swept City Hall in Georgetown over the last year, does the Mayor Patricia Chase-Green really not know why the Town Clerk Royston King is not taking action against certain senior officers, and why he appears to be too lenient with them? Oh come on! The special relationships that exist between officers there would not allow for disciplinary action to be taken by one against the other.
How does she think one special contractor gets paid all the time in a timely manner whilst the other contractors are not paid for a year? How does she think the interest owed by some property is waived whilst others have to pay?
Does she think friends and relatives of some senior officers and some Councillors are being employed a clear act of nepotism? And you know that senior officers of the Council have to be disciplined by the Local Government Commission which does not exist. Get real Madam Mayor!
