Advisors and the China visit

As more emerges about Minister of State Joseph Harmon, his trip to China and his appointment of Mr Brian Tiwarie as an “Honorary Ministerial Advisor” the murkier everything becomes.

What about legality of elections held in absence of clerks appointed by local gov’t commission?

Dear Editor, Please let me quote the Hon. Minister of Communities from his letter in your columns yesterday, April 14: “… – acting on legal advice and our interpretation of Section 28 (7) of the Local Government Act, Chapter 28:02 and Section 13(8) of the Municipal and District Councils Act, Chapter 28:01 – I proceeded to appoint leaders and deputy leaders of the councils in question, from among those with the largest numbers of votes, as stipulated by the laws.”
