A scheduled training session for the newly installed councillors of the Region Four Regional Democratic Council (RDC) has become mired in controversy after Chairperson Daniel Seeram signed and stamped an invoice to secure the services of an event planner.
The invoice for $2,089,640 had been procured by Vice Chairman Samuel Sandy from a local event planning business.
While Seeram maintains that he acted on advice from the Deputy Regional Executive Officer (DREO) Deryck Persaud and the Regional Procurement Officer Corwin Grandison, Persaud has denied this claim.
