The Partnership for National Unity (APNU) councillors of the Region # 4 (Demerara-Mahaica) Regional Democratic Council (RDC) have, on Tuesday February 28, approved a motion of no confidence against Regional Executive Officer (REO) Donald Gajraj.
The motion which cited maladministration and poor accountability was read by Councillor Hazel Pyle-Lewis.
Following the reading of the motion, the REO — who was appointed by the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) — walked out of the meeting followed by the PPP members of the Council.
Mr. Gajraj is currently embroiled in controversy following an allegation of assault made by Regional Chairman Daniel Seeram. The elected regional chairman was reportedly assaulted by the REO during a Republic Day flag raising ceremony at the National Park on February 22. The public incident was recorded via video.
Chairman Seeram has reported the allegation to the Guyana Police Force.
