A letter to the Prime Minister

Apr 05, 2013 Letters

The Honourable Prime Minister
Mr. Samuel Hinds
Wights Lane Kingston
Georgetown

Dear Sir,
Reunion Manganese Inc. is in the process of selling off the scrap iron that is located at its Matthew’s Ridge and other sites, an operation I know you are aware of. Mrs. Glynnis Beaton, Office Manager/Site Administrator is in charge of this operation
Information has surfaced that gross financial irregularities have taken place against the State and the people of Matthew’s Ridge.
A contract to purchase the scrap was secured by Mr. Stephen Persaud, owner of the “On the Go” Gas Station situated at Nismes, West Bank, Demerara. A manager’s cheque for the sum of $37 million was sent to Mrs. Beaton in lieu of payment for the scrap iron. The cheque was returned to Mr. Persaud (twice), instructing him to have the cheque prepared in the name of one Joe Brown. However, Mr. Persaud told the sender that he can only prepare the cheque in the name of the Company.
Information has also been revealed that one member of the company has received from Mr. Persaud $500,000 as “kick back” money to facilitate the purchase of the scrap iron.
On December 31, 2012, a named individual collected from Mr. Persaud $100,000. This matter should be thoroughly investigated; $37 million is a large sum of money which should be used for the development of the people of Matthew’s Ridge. There are other alleged financial irregularities going on at Reunion Manganese Inc.
NB: During her tenure at the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA), it is alleged that a woman now associated with this manganese company was under serious investigation for financial irregularities.
