A former supervisor of Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) was yesterday hauled before the court and slapped with 18 counts of fraud.
Dexter McKenzie, 48, is accused of converting monies entrusted to him by the said company to his own use and benefit. The monies were in the form of cheques and were to be paid to five persons between May and October 2018.
The first three charges alleged that from May 2018 to August 2018, at Vlissengen Road, Georgetown, McKenzie, while being entrusted by GWI with Republic Bank cheques valued at $213,720 for Shane Samuels, fraudulently converted same to his own use and benefit.
The next four charges alleged that from May 2018 to October 2018, at Vlissengen Road, Georgetown, McKenzie, again being entrusted by GWI with Republic Bank cheques, valued at $285,036, for Collette Clarke, fraudulently converted same to his own use and benefit.
Moreover, the next three charges alleged that between the periods of May 2018 to July 2018, at Vlissengen Road, Georgetown, McKenzie, while being entrusted by GWI with Republic Bank cheques valued at $148,500 for Dexter France, fraudulently converted same to his own use and benefit.
Four more charges alleged that from July 2018 to October 2018, at Vlissengen Road, Georgetown, McKenzie, while being entrusted by GWI with Republic Bank cheques valued at $263,090 for Lana James, fraudulently converted same to his own use and benefit.
Finally, the last four charges alleged that between June and July 2018, at Vlissengen Road, Georgetown, McKenzie, while being entrusted by GWI with Republic Bank cheques valued at $232,020 for Randy, fraudulently converted same to his own use and benefit.
McKenzie pleaded not guilty to all the charges after they were read to him by Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
The accused informed the court that he resides at Lot 146 Sixth Street, Alberttown, Georgetown. The father of three had worked in the GWI’s Customer Service Department.
Police prosecutor Adunni Inniss had no objections to bail and same was granted to the tune of $102,000. The magistrate then instructed McKenzie to return on April 15 for statements into his matter, as she adjourned the hearing.
