Georgetown Mayor Ubraj Narine yesterday said the City Council would not recognise the appointment of Candace Nelson as interim Town Clerk and has sought legal advice on the way forward.
At a news conference, Narine vowed that the Council will continue to battle the imposition like it has in the past, while urging that the government stop politicising governing bodies and local agencies across the country.
