Dear Editor,
AS it relates to the above-mentioned topic, I strongly support this, for it will reveal a lot of square pegs in round holes that are in managerial positions who are incompetent and cannot function as a support to the government and the sector at large.
The level of corruption that is still taking place has led to the latest demand by staff for their salaries because of mismanagement and blatant move to make the government look bad.
Yes, previous reviews by international auditors we have passed, but a lot of information that was given is false and malicious, just so that the corruption cannot be displayed.
As it relates to actual evidence, the last auction that was done for Washiba; it is a fact that all auctions for Washiba are done by the internal auditor who reports directly to the commissioner.
Now the commission is cash-strapped and sells 40000 BM of Washiba for GYD $100 and the current market price is GYD$ 450-550 per bm. Note, this was a well-planned operation to make sure it was done transparently, but to show the corruption of the management of the GFC. The fraud is that the issue was discussed with the internal auditor and he is aware of all the information of all the rest of produce not declared and all the parties in play like the assistant commissioner responsible for Essequibo and his team that did the investigation and all the others.
Mr Editor, with a restructuring, the competent and capable young staff at GFC can get it done; for too long we were pressured to not do the right things because of job security and victimisation from management and being transferred to very far locations. Using the GFC’s policies as the yardstick, I voted for a change — it is time.
