President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday expressed regret that the Alliance for Change (AFC) had not benefited from the funds allocated for the payment of party scrutineers in the ongoing house-to-house registration exercise as this would have brought about greater accountability.
Repeating an accusation contained in a Government Information Agency release on Thursday and attributed to Head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr Roger Luncheon, Jagdeo said yesterday that the PNCR was misusing the $100 million it had received to pay scrutineers. During a press conference at State House he also told reporters that the funds would be audited and if misuse were proven, the government would move against the PNCR for fraud.
