Region Six REO comes under fire, President says he’s disappointed

Narindra Persaud

President Irfaan Ali yesterday said that he was disappointed in Region Six’s Regional Executive Officer (REO) Narindra Persaud after several issues were raised during an outreach in Mara, East Bank Berbice.

The President also upbraided the regional engineer, Bhishan Dalip over issues raised by residents.

Following the meeting, President Ali stated, “I am disappointed with the REO because he knows of the policy and he never reported it to the minister that the pension is not paid in the community. I am disappointed with the engineer, coming to the communities not preparing any report, not following up on anything.”
