CHAIRMAN of the Local Government, Hinterland and Co-operatives Sub-Committee of the Region Two (Pomeroon/Supenaam) Regional Democratic Council (RDC), Mr. Pooran Persaud, has called for an investigation, by the Co-ops Department, into the affairs of the Walton Hall Burial Society.

He alleged, at last Tuesday’s RDC statutory meeting, that the co-op has no record of fees collected over the past years.

Persaud claimed that the society controls the Walton Hall cemetery on Essequibo Coast and charges between $5,000 and $10,000 for each dead person buried there.

He also told the Councillors that the burial ground is not maintained in good shape.
