GPSU credit union accuses labour minister of financial bullying

The Guyana Public Service Co-operative Credit Union (GPSCCU) is accusing Junior Social Protection Minister Keith Scott of practicing “financial bullyism” after it was asked to pay $49.6 million in retroactive contributions to the Audit and Supervision Fund for the years 2002 to 2013.

In a press statement on Tuesday, the GPSCCU accused the Department of Labour and Minister Scott specifically of obstructing the release of its 2011 to 2013 audit report and resultantly blocking the holding of its Annual General Meeting (AGM) and the payment of dividends to members.

It added that the ministry has also denied a request to audit the 2014 to 2016 records.
