Over a month after Junior Indigenous People’s Affairs Minister Valerie Garrido-Lowe said a report of alleged irregularities in the Toshao election at Capoey, Region Two, was being examined, nothing has been done and some residents remain concerned about the current village leader.
Garrido-Lowe told Stabroek News that the ministry is aware of the reports of some of the issues the village is facing and noted that many other villages also have problems. Owing to the fact that the ministry is still new and also has other obligations, she said, it has not been possible to visit all the villages to address the issues.
Garrido-Lowe, however, added that she plans to visit Capoey next week.
Some villagers remain outraged and displeased with the new Toshao,
