Gov’t committed to undertakings in Region 10 pact- HPS

Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS), Dr. Roger Luncheon at his post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the President yesterday, reiterated Government’s commitment to honouring the undertakings outlined in its agreement with the Region 10 Administration in August last year.

According to GINA, the HPS said that the deliberate misinformation that is being peddled in the Linden community, and in certain sections of the media on Government’s stance on this agreement, has not gone unnoticed.

Both sides are presently engaged in negotiations on re-establishing the technical committee on power tariffs, as well as the appointment of a chairperson to the economic committee.

At present, neither the economic committee nor the technical committee is properly constituted. In the case of the former, the chairperson tendered his resignation; while for the latter agreement has not been reached on a chairperson.
