A statutory meeting of the Georgetown Mayor and City Council (M&CC) was on Monday aborted after a standoff between some city councillors and recently appointed Interim Town Clerk Candace Nelson, who was served with notice of a legal challenge to her appointment.
At the statutory meeting, held at the Kitty Market Hall, Mayor Ubraj Narine asked that Nelson vacate the Town Clerk’s chair and allow the acting Deputy Town Clerk, Julian Orgista, to take over, in order to address the business of the council.
He cited a matter before the court and Nelson was later served.
