Another GRA cashier vanishes with millions

Jan 06, 2010 News

– leaves cheques behind

Cashiers attached to the Customs and Trade Administration of the Guyana Revenue Authority are seemingly having a field day with the entity’s money as yet another one disappeared yesterday with millions of dollars in cash.
Kaieteur News understands that the cashier, who hails from Plaisance on the East Coast of Demerara, disappeared after completing his day’s work. The cash was supposed to be deposited in the bank.
GRA officials were tightlipped when contacted last evening and even efforts to contact Commissioner-General Khurshid Sattaur proved futile.
This newspaper understands that after the cashier disappeared, GRA officials did contact him by telephone to enquire why the money was not deposited, especially since all the cheques collected were left behind.
It is not too clear what his explanation was but according to reports, officials are prepared to accept his explanation before coming to any conclusion.
One GRA employee told Kaieteur News that he heard about the incident late yesterday afternoon and it gave him an instant headache.
Yesterday’s incident comes in the wake of a massive fraud at the Customs and Trade Administration in which several hundred millions vanished from the entity.
Another cashier has been implicated but has since disappeared without a trace and is believed to have already fled the country.
