Five persons have been identified as having fraudulently accessed fuel from the Guyana Oil Company (GuyOil) through an arrangement set up by the former administration and Minister of State Joseph Harmon said they would be asked to pay for the fuel even as investigations continue into the racket which has ensnared three government ministries.

“I would want to give those persons a first opportunity to pay for this fuel because we are talking about recovering state assets and we must pay for it. We would give that opportunity and then if not I would hand the file over to the police,” Harmon said yesterday
