Parker back as Region 9 REO but councillors against decision

Having been exonerated on a charge of sexual assault, Carl Parker has been reinstated as Regional Executive Officer (REO) of Region Nine but the regional council is against him continuing in the post.

Stabroek News was informed that Parker was given approval by the Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan to resume duties as REO effective March 12th, 2018.

This was also confirmed by Regional Chairman Bryan Allicock, who noted that Parker returned to office on Monday.
