Dear Editor,

I HAVE noticed that over the past few weeks that several articles were published in the various letter columns of the print media, that are very disturbing and are far from the facts\truth.
I do not believe that everyone can see eye to eye on various matters, but I know that everyone can see the same when it comes to projects\works that are being executed by the regional administration of Region Five. It also seems that some just want to turn a blind eye on the developmental aspects and say what they want for personal elevation within their political party, no matter if it is far from the truth.
In all sectors, works are being done to enhance the lives of the people in Region Five. Be it in Agriculture, Infrastructure, Health, Education, etc. It is very much evident to many, while some just ignore the facts and say what they want.
I have had the opportunity to visit the entire Region Five where works are ongoing and I am very much pleased with what’s happening in my region and to mention a few. School buildings are being repaired, RC tarmacs are being put in place, fences are being reconstructed, sanitary blocks are being rehabilitated and the environment is being enhanced, so as to make learning comfortable, etc.
Roads and streets are being done that were neglected for the past two decades or so.

Rehabilitation to streets that was done by the former administration and which had decayed after just two years. Works are not being done in one area or for one race, but in various areas such as High dam, Good Faith Mahaicony, Paradise, Bush Lot, Bath, No.7, etc.
So when people have personal agendas and want to bring the region they live in down, they must state the facts. They must speak of the development that is taking place in just the first half of the year 2017. They must not do their dirty work of trying to ignore the truth for pay.
As a regional councillor on the government’s side, I can speak for all my fellow APNU+AFC RDC councillors when I say, we will fully support the works of the REO and his team, as long as we see development. In this case, we do fully support the administration.
So, when some are trying to say that development in the region cannot happen because the chairman and his team don’t want it,then they are fooling themselves because, without the inputs of those who want to be narrow minded against development, positive works will continue to happen in this region.
Region Five will continue to excel, no matter what the nay Sayers have to say. We are working towards “Creating A Better Life For All In Region Five.”
