The four-member ‘special technical’ team hired by President Irfaan Ali to conduct a rapid assessment of 19 key state-owned entities has completed its work. The team is expected to submit a report of its findings and recommendations today.
While the report has not yet been made public, Kaieteur News has been reliably informed that the team unearthed massive instances of financial mismanagement and has recommended the removal of personnel from the financial and human resource departments of the entities under the microscope.
The team, which comprises Christopher ‘Kit’ Nascimento, public communications consultant; chartered accountant and attorney–at-law, Christopher Ram; Nigel Hinds, certified public accountant and Sasenarine Singh, financial consultant, worked pro-bono.

Additionally, the team was tasked with conducting a review of the operations, policies and programmes of the Department of Public Information (DPI), the National Communications Network Incorporated (NCN) and the Guyana National Newspaper Limited (Guyana Chronicle).
