Region Nine will see the return of its former Regional Executive Officer (REO) Carl Parker in the New Year as the Ministry of Communities continues its rotation exercise.
Parker was removed from the position last year after being charged with sexual assault but reinstated by Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan in March of this year, after the case against him was dismissed.
His reinstatement was not welcomed by councillors of the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) which was reflected in a letter written to President David Granger which said that while the RDC had no objection to Parker’s reinstatement to the administration, a motion was passed by the council disapproving his continuing as REO.
