The employees were the only persons at the Eccles, East Bank Demerara home.
The bandits reportedly entered through the back door, which was left open.
Reports are that the maids were tied and kicked when they told the intruders that they had no idea where the money and jewellery were hidden.
Rohee, a Member of Parliament (MP) said that he and his wife were at work when a neighbour called and informed him that a jeep loaded with police ranks was in front of his property.
According to the former Home Affairs Minister, when he arrived at his home, he was informed that one of the maids had left the door open while she was inside cleaning. He stated that the men used the opportunity to barge into his house and demanded that the women hand over gold, after which the men ransacked his home in search of valuables.
The PPP General Secretary added that he was informed that the ordeal lasted for about 15 minutes and the men escaped in a car.
