A supervisor attached to the Guysuco Albion Estate is in police custody for alleged malpractice. He is purported to have entered workers’ names for payment even though they did not work.
Manager of the Albion Estate, Mr. Manna, although acknowledging that the incident did take place and that an investigation was underway, would only say that the matter is in the hands of the police.
The supervisor in custody is Mr. Anwaz Ayube, who is said to be a Pastor and the Chairman of the NAACIE Albion branch.
Some workers contended that the supervisor and many others are part of a wider scheme that involved malpractice in Guysuco in general, and the Albion Estate specifically.
The last incident mainly concerned workers’ holiday with pay. One worker stated that he did not work and had no idea of his salary being sent to the pay-office. He said that he did not withdraw the money; his supervisor Mr. Ayube did.
He said that he received a call from the supervisor informing him of the payments and what he should say if he is being questioned. The worker claimed that this incident occurred last week Wednesday. He said that later that evening, one Mr. Brown, another manager attached to the estate, accompanied by two foremen visited his home to conduct a search.
The search, he claimed, unearthed nothing since he was not involved in any wrongdoings. He claimed however, that Mr. Brown made him sign a document confessing that he had not worked and had no knowledge of the salary prepared for him.
The worker said when he went to the pay-office on Friday to uplift his pay, he received 46 twenty-dollar notes. In amazement he said he enquired from the manager present at the pay office who told him to report to the estate office on Monday for enquiries.
Another worker said that a deceased person was still receiving salary from the said supervisor.
