Region Ten fraud investigations continue

Mar 04, 2016 News

Region Ten (Upper Demerara/Upper Berbice) Democratic Council (RDC) Chairman Renis Morian has said that more discrepancies are being uncovered at the Administration. This is happening as employees suspected of involvement continue to be on administrative leave.
Irregularities within the Works Department, including the discovery of false payment vouchers, prompted investigations last month. Regional Executive Officer Gavin Clarke made the revelation of several money-related discrepancies which involved RDC employees and contract workers.
Auditors from the State Assets Recovery Unit (SARU) as well as the police had been summoned to investigate.
Morian said that just a few weeks ago, more disturbing things involving RDC contracts were unearthed. He said that investigators may visit the Council’s office at Mackenzie some time next week.
The Chairman explained “Two weeks ago we discovered, and we’re still discovering more issues. We’re seeing more things coming up.”
He added, “The employees remain on leave. We can’t fill the vacancies either, because their positions aren’t vacant. No decision has been made, since they haven’t been tried. We’re just gathering the information.”
Two technical officers were expected to be appointed to the Council to assist with the relevant job functions.
