[Video] Smart phones could be banned at GRA over info leaks – Statia

Following a series of leaks of taxpayer information, Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) Commissioner General (CG), Godfrey Statia said that a ban on the use of smart phones at the agency could soon be implemented.

“Anyone found leaking taxpayer information will have to go. Taxpayers’ information is privileged information and if persons continue leaking information I may have to ban the use of smart phones at GRA both by officers and taxpayers,” Statia told a press conference yesterday.

He was at the time addressing media reports about the granting of a duty-free concession to Deputy Commissioner of Customs, Excise and Trade Operations, Lancelot Wills.
