Despite the naysayers, Region 5 is developing

Jun 06, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
I have noticed that over the past few weeks that several articles – published in various letter columns of the print media – are very disturbing and are far from the truth. I do not believe that everyone can see eye to eye on various matters, but I know that everyone can be of the same view when it comes to projects\works that are being executed by the regional administration of Region 5.
It also seems that some just want to turn a blind eye on the developmental aspects and say what they want for personal elevation within their political party; no matter if it is far from the truth. In all sectors, works are being done to enhance the lives of the people in Region 5. Be it in Agriculture, Infrastructure, Health, Education, etc. It is very evident to many, while others just ignore the facts and say what they want.
I have had the opportunity to visit large sections of Region 5 where work is being done or is still ongoing and I am very pleased with what’s happening in my region. To mention a few – school buildings are being repaired, tarmacs put in place, fences being reconstructed, sanitary blocks being rehabiltated, environment being enhanced so as to make learning comfortable, etc.
Roads and streets being done that were neglected for the past two decades or so. Rehabilitation of streets that were done by the former administration that decayed after just two years. Works are not being done in one specific area or for one specific race, but rather in various areas such as Highdam, Good Faith Mahaicony, Paradise, Bush Lot, Bath, No.7, etc.
So when people have personal agendas and want to bring down the region they reside in, they must state the facts. They must speak of the development that is occurring in just the first half of the year 2017. They must not do their dirty work of trying to ignore the truth for pay.
As a regional councillor on the government side and I can speak for all my fellow APNU+AFC RDC councillors when I say; we will fully support the works of the REO and his team as long we see development. In this case, we do fully support the administration. So, when some are trying to say that development in the region cannot happen because the chairman and his team don’t want it, then they are fooling themselves because without the input of those who want to be narrow minded against development, positive works will continue to happen in this region. Region 5 will continue to exceed no matter what the naysayers say. We are working towards “Creating A Better Life For All In Region 5”.
