Former Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) General Manager Jagnarine Singh and agricultural consultant Madanlall Ramraj have denied a total of 34 charges that have been instituted against them for allegedly keeping fraudulent accounts and fraudulent appropriation of property.
Although the two men were charged in October, along with an absent former GRDB accountant, Peter Ramcharran, who is presently in Canada, the charges were withdrawn last Thursday after a request was made by Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) prosecutor Patrice Henry to Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in Georgetown. The amended charges against only Singh and Ramraj were then read.
