Reg 10 RDC moves to secure assets of President’s Youth Choice

Region 10 (Upper Demerara/Berbice) head Renis Morian said the administration of the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) will be moving to secure assets belonging to the President’s Youth Choice, said to be in the hands of private

citizens. Morian said he has already written to Permanent Secretary of the Education Ministry Alfred King concerning the issue, which he believes to be very serious. He added that the RDC is awaiting information so that it can move to secure the assets, which are scattered all across the Region. Some of the assets include boats, engines, generators, among other things. “This belongs to the people and Government of Guyana. We at the Regional Democratic Council, we are aware there are outstanding assets in Region 10 belonging to that project that is in the hands of private people. We want the asset list from Mr King. So I’ve already written Mr King and I’m awaiting the list to let us know where these assets are and what are the assets that the RDC could take possession of,” he said. Adding that the process should have been a continuous one, the Regional Chairman noted that by right, at the change of Government, such information should have been made available to the RDC: “Failing to do that, if Mr King fails to do that, at the level of the RDC, we would have to take the appropriate action to make certain that those assets are returned to the Government and the people, one way or the other.”
