The opposition People’s Progressive Party (PPP) yesterday said there is a “stalemate” between the Regional Executive Officers (REOs) and the regional administrations in the seven regions won by the party.
This stalemate, according to Shadow Minister for Communities Collin Croal, stems from the government-appointed REOs failing to communicate with the duly-elected Regional Democratic Councils (RDCs) as well as failing to respect and implement decisions made by them.
Croal believes that at the root of these issues is the fact that the REOs are political appointees, who do not understand their roles as public servants.
“Information is not being provided to the RDCs as to the awards being done at the regional tender board.
