Minister of Communities, Ronald Bulkan says that the administration is committed to a  policy of regionalism, and of reducing the inequality between conditions on the coastland and those in the hinterland.

According to the Department of Public Information, he was at the time delivering the feature address at the flag-raising ceremony held at Kurukubaru, Potaro-Siparuni (Region Eight) on Wednesday.

Central government’s policy of local empowerment, the Communities Minister said, derives from respect for the role of the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) as the organ possessing the constitutional responsibility to manage and develop the region.
