| The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) is obviously trying to undermine the role of the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region Eight,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, simply because they do not have control.This is the view of the Alliance For Change, which won the majority of votes in the region at the last General and Regional Elections in 2011 and has the Chairmanship of the Region.The party is basing its opinion on a recent episode in parliament when a question was directed to the Minister of Local Government,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, as to why there was no meeting of the Regional Democratic Council in Region Eight.According to the AFC,Authentic NFL Jerseys Wholesale, the Minister responded that he was not aware of the reason.But the party laid the blame squarely at the feet of the Regional Executive Officer (REO) and it is of the view that the PPP is “playing petty politics that is designed to discredit the AFC.”In a press release issued yesterday the AFC listed what it termed facts about why the meetings were not held.“When the Council met on the 17th and 18th of October,Cheap Authentic NFL Jerseys, the Council decided to hold the next RDC meeting on the 26th and 27th of November 2012.The Clerk of the Council, who is the Regional Executive Officer, did not summon the statutory meeting in November. The Chairman of the RDC wrote the REO a letter on the 29th of November asking him to explain why the meeting was not summoned. To date there has been no response to the Chairman’s letter.”According to the AFC,NFL Jerseys China Cheap, the Regional Chairman subsequently wrote the REO another letter on the 5th of December instructing him to summon a meeting of the RDC for the 17th and 18th of December 2012.The AFC said that the REO failed to summon the meeting and gave no reason why the meeting was not summoned.”Both letters to the REO were copied to the Cabinet Secretary Dr. Roger Luncheon and the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Local Government & Regional Development Mr. Collin Croal; so for the Minister of Local Government Ganga Persaud to claim he did not know the reason why there were no meetings of the RDC is either misleading or clearly points to a lack of communication between himself and the PS in his Ministry.”“The Minister of Local Government and indeed the PPPC administration must be aware of the antics of the REO of Region Eight since letters have been sent to the Minister and President Ramotar updating them of the shamefully non-cooperative attitude of the REO, yet no action is being taken by the Minister or the PPPC administration,” the AFC added.The AFC said that despite the non-cooperation of the REO,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, the Chairman and majority of Councilors of the Region Eight RDC are forging ahead with developmental plans for the Region and moreover, “the residents are fully aware of the efforts of the PPPC REO to stymie the works of the Council.” |
