Senior IT official sues GRA for ‘wrongful dismissal’
A senior official within the data entry department of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) has been dismissed and he is suing for over $2M.
Attorney-at-law Stephen Lewis
In a writ filed last week, Francis Simmons of the state-owned tax agency’s Management Information System (MIS) department is claiming damages in excess of $1M for wrongful dismissal.
The writ was filed against GRA.
Through his lawyer Stephen Lewis, he is also asking for another $1M for breach of contract and interest under the Law Reform Miscellaneous Provisions Act.
There have been reported issues with GRA’s data entry centre. In recent years, millions of dollars were lost in revenues because of manipulations in the entries of transactions with businesses.
