The Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region Ten says that Budget 2023, as it relates to the Council, is inaccurate and does nothing to improve the lives of the people of the Region.
In a release yesterday, the Upper Demerara/Upper Berbice RDC “categorically” refuted the government’s claim that the 2023 Budget intends to help the Region. The Council is therefore calling on the government to reinstate and approve those projects which were requested by the people of the Region through their elected representatives on the Regional Democratic Council.
According to the release, the Minister of Finance’s 2023 budget presentation contained “serious inaccuracies and omissions that will present severe hardship to the people of Region Ten even after extensive consultation with our residents and proactive submissions of developmental projects by the RDC were done to prevent this.”
