Millions of dollars in fixtures and fittings have been pillaged from the controversial 1,000-home, turnkey Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA) project and its board is under pressure to launch an investigation into what is believed to have been an inside job.
Stabroek Business has seen a copy of an internal memorandum sent to Board Chairman Hamilton Green in which a recommendation was made that a police investigation be launched into the reported theft of more than $12 million in windows, doors, toilets and other fixtures from the homes, while a high-profile local security service was employed to ensure the protection of the site.
The theft from the buildings apart, the memorandum asserts that members of the same security service are under suspicion of being in league with CHPA employees in the looting of materials from the main storage bond associated with the project.
