A small group of persons staged a protest outside the Regional Democratic Council compound in Region Six on Thursday, calling for the removal of the Regional Executive Officer (REO) Veerasammy Ramayya and the Tender Board.
Kitte Samuels, a young businessman and a vendor at the New Amsterdam Market, said he was protesting because of “the unfairness meted out to me by Mr Ramayya and the Tender Board.” According to the man, he submitted bids for a number of projects and was told by valuators that the projects would be awarded to him. He said he visited the REO’s office for a review, which was promised to him by Ramayya himself. However, Samuels said, he could not contact the REO since meeting with him.
