President David Granger on Friday presented two 30-seater buses for school children to the Region Five, Regional Democratic Council (RDC) and questions were raised at the absence of Regional Chairman Vickchand Ramphal but he said he was not invited.
The buses were donated by corporate citizens to the President’s “Boats, Buses and Bicycles” (‘three Bs’) programme which aims to lessen the financial burden of transportation on parents of school-age children. The handing-over was done at the RDC’s headquarters at Fort Wellington,
