Linden Town Clerk Jonellor Bowen will return to her post today as Ministry of Communities Permanent Secretary, Emile McGarrell has chosen not to have her reassigned.
In a letter to the Mayor of Linden, McGarrell noted that the procedural flaws attached to the no- confidence motion moved against Bowen could not be supported and that a transfer would not be approved rather he directed that Bowen be reinstated.
The Linden Town Council on July 27, 2016 passed the no-confidence motion against Bowen. This was the third such motion brought against Bowen and the second by the current council.
