GWI Debt Collection Manager sent on leave

Guyana Water Inc (GWI) Debt Collection Manager Lear Goring has been sent on administrative leave following reports of his previous narcotics convictions in the United States.

“I can confirm that he has been sent on administrative leave, that is all I can say,” GWI Public Relations Officer Leanna Bradshaw said yesterday, hours after Stabroek News asked for confirmation that Goring has been sent on leave.

Goring, a friend of GWI Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr Richard Van West-Charles and who was hired without the post being advertised, was at work up to Monday afternoon, when this newspaper sought to question him at GWI’s offices. Goring told the security officer at the gate that he was not speaking to anyone.
