Indira Ananjit needs to answer many questions

Sep 05, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor;
Reference Letter to Editor issued in the Guyana Chronicle dated September 3, 2016 written by former Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Legal Affairs and Attorney General Chambers, Ms. Indira Ananjit.
The Staff, Ms Ananjit had oppressed, marginalised and discriminated against waited only one day after her departure on annual leave she had not taken since 2013, to take to the Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs (AGMLA) the incriminating documents.
The staff advised the newly appointed Minister of the Public Service procedures which required the matter and documents being sent to the Auditor General.
The documents showed Ms. Ananjit, the Chief Accounting Officer for the Ministry, approving payments of over 2.5 million dollars for Commonwealth Law Reports and over 2 million dollars in computer parts but those purchases could not be found as having been received in any of the records of the Ministry.
After not hearing from the Auditor General for many months, the Ministry received a purported report which it challenged under the provisions of the Audit Act. The Report could be interpreted to mean that former President Ramotar and former AGMLA, Anil Nandlall conspired to spend taxpayers; money in the custody of the Ministry to purchase the law books for Nandlal’s benefit.
In the words of Sir Richard Drayton it was a “predatory relationship seeking to strip private wealth out of state assets.”
When the Hon. Attorney General took over the office he met staffers who greeted him with exultations of “we are free at last, free at last.”
There were many reports of Ms Ananjit taking files and giving them to Nandlall; downloading information from the Ministry’s computers and giving them to him or his driver and suppressing documents and other information relevant to the new administration, yet the Minister never dismissed her. Ms Ananjit did write the Minister of State Harmon but she indicated to him she did not want to return to the Ministry of Legal Affairs (MLA) and would like to go anywhere else. She never sought to return to the MLA and for good reason; she was afraid of being charged for a criminal offence.
Ms Ananjit must tell the nation whether she left the Ministry of Tourism, GECOM and the NCN under similar circumstances. The AGMLA rejects the contentions in Ms Ananjit’s said letter.
