MONTEGO BAY, St James — Chairman of the St James Municipal Corporation, Councillor Homer Davis has given his chief executive officer 24 hours to present a report on the payment history of the former personal assistant of the councillor for the Granville Division, Michael Troupe.

The corporation's chairman told members of the media about the probe yesterday.

“We have some concerns and based on what has been revealed to me, I have asked my executive officer to conduct an immediate investigation into this matter and to furnish me with the report... in order that I can send a report in to the minister of local government and community development,” Councillor Davis said yesterday.

Councillor Davis explained that the probe became essential following news reports that Troupe's former personal assistant had quit her job three months ago, but the corporation is in possession of documentation that suggests otherwise. more
