Slap on the wrist outcome

Feb 20, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

It is simply pure damn nonsense (there is that phrase again) in the “missing cheques” matter, highlighted at a recent PAC meeting, that important documents. such as cheque books ‘were not kept in a secured manner as required’ (KN Feb 18), resulting in a member of staff successfully accessing, forging and encashing a cheque for over half million dollars. Damn nonsense indeed!
Further the feeble explanation offered of moving office for the cheque books not being secured, is absolutely bizarre. How could the oversight body accept such an absurd explanation?
It has to be wondered too whether the clerk, with responsibility for securing the cheque books, and did not do so, aided, abetted and facilitated this missing cheque episode?
Is the cheque books clerk still in the employ of the ministry? It seems a slap on the wrist was the outcome for the players involved in this matter.
