After receiving emergency funds to pay off a debt to the Guyana National Newspapers Limited (GNNL), the Government Information Agency (GINA) used some of the money to replenish its accounts after paying bonuses to its staff in 2015, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) was told on Monday.
After inquiries were made by PAC member Juan Edghill about how the bonuses were paid in December but the cheques were received in January, GINA’s Director Beverly Alert suggested that perhaps the auditors needed to scrutinize the accounts again.
