- court hears
A tailor who allegedly obtained a quantity of money from three persons under the pretext that he was a health inspector from the Ministry of Health was remanded to prison on Wednesday when he appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
Paul D’Anjou, 42, of 174 Third Street, Alberttown pleaded not guilty to three charges of obtaining money by false pretence.
D’Anjou denied that he, with intent to defraud, obtained $2,840 from Fareedine Camdar under the pretext that he was employed by the Ministry of Health and that he was in a position to obtain three aprons, hats and a dustbin, knowing same to be false, on April 30.
He allegedly pretended to be a health inspector from the Ministry of Health to Joanna Stanton on April 29 and obtained $10,000 from her after promising that he would get aprons, hats and dustbins so she could operate as a vendor at a high school.
D’Anjou is also accused of obtaining $1,500 from Sofya Monique under the pretext that he was sent to collect it on behalf of a “Mr Bess” from the Ministry of Health.
He, however, stated he had recompensed Camdar for the money and that he was willing to do the same for Monique and Stanton. He then asked to be placed on self bail and stated that he would finish paying back the money by the next court date.
The prosecution objected to the bail application on the grounds that several other charges are likely to be brought against D’Anjou for matters of a similar nature.
The magistrate then ordered that D’Anjou be remanded to prison and that he appear back in court on May 19.
the court should duped him and ask him how long he wants to live, then give him that amount in years behind the prison gates.
Guyanese are advantage every day by their owne Guyanese simply because of the lack of employment opertunity in the ten adminstrative region through out Guyana.
The Guyana Deartment of Labour should change the way it do business with the People of Guyana. All employment or filling of vacancies should come through the Guyana Department of Labour.
Use the Trinadad system of employment to make job available to all Guyanese. All employment must first be filled by Guyanese, and all employers must register with the department of labour. No one should engage themself with scams for employment.
To protect the People of Guyana the Government should make it known through education programs on Media outlet how Guyanese could be educated and employed.
I say it Guyanese first, not Black, not Indian but your birth must be Guyanse and only the Guyanese…this Government must look at the Employment of Guyanese it a serious problem in Guyana.

The court should not waste taxpayers dollars, he already asked for time to repay,which shows, that he took it, and have the nerve to plead not guilty.
