Min­is­ter of Rur­al De­vel­op­ment and Lo­cal Gov­ern­ment Kaz­im Ho­sein has ap­point­ed a new Board of Di­rec­tors to the Rur­al De­vel­op­ment Com­pa­ny of T&T (RDC)

The new di­rec­tors re­ceived their in­stru­ments of ap­point­ment at the min­istry’s of­fice in Port-of-Spain on Thurs­day.

The new chair­man of the Board is busi­ness­woman Pa­tri­cia Alex­is.

In con­grat­u­lat­ing the new di­rec­tors, Ho­sein re­mind­ed them of their pur­pose at the State en­ter­prise say­ing: “I want to per­son­al­ly wel­come each one of you to the team. As you are well aware, the Rur­al De­vel­op­ment Com­pa­ny (RDC) plays a piv­otal role in the de­vel­op­ment of rur­al com­mu­ni­ties across our coun­try.

“On­ly last month, through RDC, we opened a bridge in L’Anse Mi­tan, Care­nage which res­i­dents have been ea­ger­ly await­ing for over 60 years.

He said the new in­stall­ment will en­sure that over 100 cit­i­zens re­ceive the nec­es­sary goods and ser­vice.
