Despite the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) electing two members to sit on the Regional Tender Board at their last statutory meeting, Stabroek News has confirmed that the board is meeting without the two elected members, resulting in limited scrutiny at the level of the board.
Previously, PPP/C regional councillors, Zamal Hussain and Phillip Rose sat on the board with the three members appointed by the National Tender Board which included the Regional Executive Officer, Kim Williams-Stephen, as chairperson of the board.
However, last month, Hussain was booted from the board along with Rose, and another person, Compton Grant, former APNU Deputy Mayor and councillor in the New Amsterdam Town Council, selected by the “regional administration.”
