Georgetowners’ money going down a kingly toilet

Jun 23, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
The citizens of Georgetown are expecting this developing story to be treated seriously since as was mentioned in my previous letters not only the mismanagement of municipal funds by this town clerk but deliberate act to live the life of a bank executive in an organisation that lacks the human resource composition to generate revenue.
The town clerk should be aware of the financial woes the city is facing since he ardently pleaded with citizens to pay up their rates and taxes day after day in all forms of the mediums. Now the citizens are aware where the urgency of paying these taxes are going, down a portable king’s toilet that Royston King impudently placed in front of his premises instead of maintaining the many clogged drains, pumps and kokers.
The Minister of Communities and his team should let this matter be a warning to all other government functionaries under the local government arm that dismissal is not enough rather criminal charges be laid since this act warrant such or he will be held accountable. The Minister should also use this opportunity to go in depth on further financial transaction City Hall is having with other business entities and by extension the whole of the Georgetown municipality.
The Minister should also be reminded that he has the authority to lay charges against the kings at City Hall since they remain the overarching heads of all local government organs in the absent of a local government commission and not the Mayor, Patricia Chase Green who for some reason would love for this story to remain quiet since it adds another embarrassment to her tenure. Royston King should face the full force of the law for this act and be taught as a lesson to all other government functionaries the penalty for breaching government ethics as was done to a few officers being suspended as scapegoats to cover up his financial wildness in the expenditure of municipal funds.
