Members of the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region Six yesterday called for the release of the findings of an investigation of an alleged fraud at the state-run broadcaster NCN’s Berbice branch, after the reinstatement of a manager who had been sent on administrative leave.
Councillor Zamal Hussain was among those who made the call at a statutory RDC meeting yesterday, where he turned up with dozens of alleged fake receipts that were given to customers by the entity.
He noted manager Donna Mathoo, who was sent on leave during the investigation, has since been reinstated at the state owned entity without any explanation. He added that she was paid in full with benefits during the leave period. As a result, he said some sort of explanation is owed to the public. “…We need to know the findings of the investigation, the public needs to know,” Hussain, who represents the PPP/C, said.
