He denies any wrongdoing.
An SNP councillor in Renfrewshire is being investigated by an ethics watchdog after accusing political rivals of “wanting to kill people” during a debate on independence.meeting in June – claiming Labour and Conservative governments were “more than happy” to put money into nuclear weapons and have “the ability to commit genocide.”He added: “You want to kill people, you don’t want to feed people. That’s the difference and that’s what I want to change.
Councillor Mylet’s language sparked a complaint to the Ethical Standards Commissioner from Councillor Alec Leishman, which has since been accepted for investigation. Councillor Mylet, who represents Paisley East and Central, was asked by the commissioner to provide an explanation for the comments he made during the meeting on June 30.
If the complaint is upheld, Councillor Mylet will have an opportunity to consider the conclusion and provide comments before the outcome of the investigation is reported to the Standards Commission for Scotland.
