RIO CLARO – ONLY the PNM coun­cil­lor elect­ed to the Ma­yaro/ Rio Claro Re­gion­al Cor­po­ra­tion took his oath of of­fice on Friday.

All five of the UNC coun­cil­lors were a no show and there was no official explanation for their absence.

When the Cor­po­ra­tion’s Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer Ash­mead Mo­hammed called the meet­ing at 10 a.m., no coun­cil­lor was present at the Rio Claro office.

Wen­dell Charles Perez, who was elected to the Ma­yaro/ Guayagua­yare district after Monday’s Local Government Election, arrived shortly after.
