Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan has reprimanded Region Two Regional Executive Officer (REO) Rupert Hopkinson and recommended that he apologise to the Anna Regina Town Council (ARTC) for infringing on its jurisdiction when he chose to fill the main drainage channel in front of the Department of Education at Cotton Field without permission.
Hopkinson clashed with both the Regional Chairman Devanand Ramdatt and Anna Regina Mayor Rabindranauth Mohan over the decision.
He also faced intense scrutiny after he was seen on video lambasting a councillor who questioned him about his authorisation to proceed with the project.
