A standoff between the Chairman and the Regional Executive Officer (REO) of the Region Five council relates to the alleged illegal use of an excavator and the Minister of Communities has said he is prepared to reconcile the two sides if asked.
Chairman of the Mahaica-Berbice council, Vickchand Ramphal and REO, Ovid Morrison are not on speaking terms as Morrison feels he was disrespected by Ramphal when the matter of the excavator’s use was raised at the council.
