Gov’t remains silent on Local Gov’t Commission

While the government remains silent on why it is not setting up the Local Government Commission (LGC), the opposition PPP/C is proceeding to consult with the two parties in the governing coalition on its nominees to comply with a requirement by Minister of Communities, Ronald Bulkan.

PPP/C Chief Whip, Gail Teixeira told Stabroek News on Saturday that she has written the General Secretary of APNU, Joseph Harmon and AFC Chairman, Khemraj Ramjattan asking that they be present for a meeting to be held during the first break of the June 15, 2017 sitting of the National Assembly.
