The Guyana sugar corporation, GuySuCo, has summarily dismissed Materials Manager Aasrodeen Shaw for infractions with regard to the tendering process for electrodes.
At a meeting yesterday chaired by Chairman Dr. Nanda Gopaul in the corporation’s conference room, Shaw was asked to respond to:
: The inefficient manner in which tender documents for the purchase of electrodes were processed.
: Failure to present the evaluation of the said tender documents to the Head Office Tender Committee although he was aware of these documents since January 2, 2010.
: Breaching the Corporation’s procurement procedure and guidelines by continuing to purchase electrodes in small quantities when there was a tender for a bulk order waiting to be approved by the Head Office Tender/Central tender Committees. This amounted to the splitting of the contracts in the purchase of this item.
As a result of these infractions, to which Shaw has admitted, GuySuCo decided to summarily dismiss him.
Shaw is to vacate the Corporation’s staff house in which he resides in one month’s time, and has been instructed to hand over all the Corporation’s records, keys, motor car and equipment or tools which had been issued to him.
