Dear Editor,
The Office of the Regional Chairman Region 5, wishes to publicly refute claims made by APNU+AFC Councilor, Mr. Abel Seetaram, which was published in the Kaieteur News on Friday, August 4, 2017.
Councilor Seetaram deliberately misled readers and by extension, the general public by suggesting that the PPP Councilors of the Regional Democratic Council Region 5 failed to submit projects to be included in the Region’s 2018 Budget proposals.
Mr. Seetaram’s utterances are not only untrue and misleading, but it is also a demeaning piece emanating from an elected representative and a sitting member of the Regional Democratic Council of Region 5, since a total of 144 projects from across Region #5 were collectively compiled by the PPP Councillors and submitted to the Office of the Regional Executive Office on June 26, 2017. These submissions were signed for and received by the Secretary to the Regional Executive Officer. We therefore demand an apology from Councilor Abel Seetaram, and calls upon the REO, Mr. Ovid Morrison to issue a similar statement denouncing this irresponsible allegation made by the APNU+AFC Councilor.

Hard Truths by GHK Lall (Kaieteur News) – When President Ali talks about “sacred trust”, clearly, he is a leader floating in his own spaceship.
