The addition of some persons to the Board of Trustees of Region 10 Broadcasting Inc (RBI) has generated controversy with at least one regional councillor threatening protests over the appointments and the manner in which they were done.
The appointment of pardoned treason accused Phillip Bynoe as well as the unilateral selection of Linden Mayor Carwyn Holland and his deputy has drawn fury from at least two officials of the Region, who said that these actions were done without consultation.
Holland on Thursday announced that he was invited to a meeting in Georgetown with Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo, who has responsibility for the broadcasting sector, and a decision was taken to add persons to the RBI Trust, increasing the number of directors from four to 15.
