Court to rule on recall of witness in trial of fraud-accused former GRDB accountant

Peter Ramcharran

The court is expected to rule tomorrow on whether to recall a witness in the matter against former Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) accountant Peter Ramcharran for alleged falsification of an account. Ramcharran, who was extradited from Canada to face multiple fraud charges, is currently on trial before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan for five charges of falsification of an account. The charges allege that Ramcharran, while being the accountant of GRDB, omitted to enter a total in excess of $414 million in the GRDB ledger.
