Two months after a Judge ordered that he be paid his almost $30 million in outstanding benefits and in spite of the Georgetown Mayor and City Council’s repeated commitment to honour the ruling, former Town Clerk Royston King is yet to receive any payment.
According to minutes of the Council’s statutory meeting, held on July 11, 2022, Mayor Ubraj Narine has laid the blame for non-compliance with the court order at the feet of the Local Government Commission (LGC), which he has accused of misguiding officers who, he said, know what is required by the law.
According to minutes of a June 27th, 2022 meeting, also seen by this newspaper, Town Clerk (ag) Vanessa Simon-Brown, against whom King’s action for benefits was filed, informed the Council that a letter would be sent to the LGC “seeking a directive” on the matter.
