Minister of Citizenship, Winston Felix yesterday said that the building to house the migrant support centre in Pomeroon-Supenaam (Region Two) was identified by newly appointed Regional Executive Officer (REO), Denis Jaikarran.
According to a release from the Ministry of the Presidency, Felix was at the time responding to statements attributed to Region Two Chairman, Devanand Ramdatt, in the Guyana Times on January 10, 2019. Ramdatt, according to the article headlined, `No consultations held with regional administration – Chairman’ said the regional administration was not consulted on the establishment of the centre as announced at a meeting of the National Multi-Sectoral Coordinating Committee on January 7, 2019.
However, Felix said that the identification of the building was done with the full involvement of Jaikarran, who is the region’s administrative clerk and is the second most important officer in the regional democratic architecture.
