Region 5 REO must show allegiance to Berbice not the PPP

Jan 19, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
It is ashamed that the opposition party PPP is saying that they want to represent the people of Guyana especially those that voted for them at the last elections.
His Excellency President David A. Granger visited region 5 on Friday 15th January, 2015 to commission two school buses that was donated by community minded businessmen across Guyana and afar for the children of region 5. And I repeat the children of Region 5, not the APNU+AFC supporter’s children but all the children of the region.
His Excellency was warmly welcomed to the region by hundreds of supporters from all races and political parties.  There were several Ministers that also grace the function, as H.E has said almost his entire cabinet was present.  The entire region had welcomed all with open hearts.
But the most astonish thing is that the PPP Regional Chairman stayed away from the function, in fact I was told that he was advised not to attend the commissioning because the people and children of Region 5 will be benefiting from this.  The regional chairman has shown blatant disregard for his office as Regional Chairman. He is not Chairman for PPP but for all of Region 5 and he needs to understand that and stop his nonsense of being PPP Regional Chairman alone.
The Regional Chairman spends almost most of the working hours at Freedom House in Bath Settlement taking advice from someone that hardly knows anything about administration.  The vehicle that the Chairman was given is to do regional work not PPP work and as a Regional Councilor; if this is to continue I along with other Councilors will asked for his fuel to be cut.  He is hardly in the office when the day comes but at Freedom House.
This Chairman has shown that he doesn’t care about the people of Region 5, but all he cares for is the work of the PPP designed to stymied development in the Region.  He is a young man and took the oath as to serve the people of the Region no matter what race, religion or political background we belong to but it seems like he is not adhering to the oath he swore to.
We the people of the Region are happy that those buses were given to the children of the Region, we welcome it with open hearts.  We will like to thank all the donors that made it possible and we will ensure that our children make full use of it. We will also like to assure all that the buses will carry all kind of children be it Indian, African, Amerindian, Chinese, etc. Be it from PPP, APNU and AFC, Christian, Hindu or Muslim.  All the children are going to benefit from this.
I call on the PPP to please teach Region 5 Chairman some protocol and to respect the Head of State and the Government at all times.  The PPP needs to put people who are educated to properly advice this young man. It is time for us to work together for the benefit of our people.  Together we can make the difference in making Guyana a better place where all can be united and not separated.  Unity is the key and this Government wants all to be united and work together, so that there can be a better life for all.
Come on Regional Chairman be a Chairman for the Region not the PPP.  If you have an agenda to not make this Region look good and move forward, then you need to stop that agenda now because you will not succeed at all.  Be yourself and if you need better advice then I am willing to give such and more over, all of the APNU+AFC Councilors are willing to lend you advice so that we can move Region 5 forward. Let’s continue to work for Region 5 so that our people can have a better life under this APNU+AFC Government.
Abel Seetaram
APNU+AFC Regional Councilor
Region 5
