GWI board to meet today on fate of debt collection manager

The Board of the Guyana Water Inc (GWI) is expected to convene a special meeting today on the hiring of the Debt Collection Manager Lear Goring, who has been sent on administrative leave following reports of his narcotics convictions in the United States.

This is according to Minister of Communities, Ronald Bulkan, who also expressed the wish that Cabinet have the final say on the issue.

Speaking to Stabroek News yesterday, the minister said he became concerned after the hiring was made public and immediately asked the corporation for a full report on the matter. He said that the meeting is “to address this sole issue and some other relevant and associated issues.”
