The Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) yesterday announced that it is conducting an audit of its office in Region Two following the arrest of a housing officer, who is accused of collecting money for a house lot and issuing a forged receipt.

“Presently we are conducting an audit of that office and we will ensure that those officers will be monitored… Managers will be visiting those offices at least once monthly apart from the weekly reports being submitted…,” CH&PA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Lelon Saul told a press conference yesterday in the agency’s boardroom at Brickdam.

As previously reported by Stabroek News, Omesh Sasenarayan, Regional Housing Officer for Region Two, was arrested last Friday for allegedly unlawfully collecting $50,000 for a house lot and issuing a forged receipt.
