Members of the Region Six Regional Democratic Council (RDC) are currently at logger-heads with the Regional Executive Officer (REO) over the selection of appointees for the Regional Tender Board.
The regional board previously comprised PPP/C regional councillors Zamal Hussain and Phillip Rose in addition to three members appointed by the National Tender Board, including the REO, Kim Williams-Stephen, who serves as chairperson of the board.
However, the RDC has since been told that Hussain is out and the new appointees would include Rose and another person selected by the “regional administration.”
