The launch yesterday of a newly conceptualised committee of senior regional officials was overshadowed by the absence of representatives from those councils controlled by the opposition People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C).
The Ministry of Com-munities held the inaugural meeting of the National Regional Developmental Consultative Committee (NRDCC) at the Marriott Hotel, where Permanent Secretary Emile McGarrell explained to those gathered that the principal function of the committee will be to facilitate collaborative management, development and leadership across regions.
