I understand that leading AFC member Dr Veerasammy Ramayya has accepted a coalition government appointment as Regional Executive Officer of Region 6/East Berbice-Corentyne. A few weeks ago Dr Ramayya had publicly criticized the AFC leadership of not doing enough for its members since the May 11 election. The leadership and the doctor have mended fences, as the new appointment indicates. Social activist Mark Benschop says he phoned Dr Ramayya who confirmed his acceptance of the top job in Berbice. I congratulate REO Dr Ramayya on his appointment and wish him a successful tour of duty.
