Sale of GuySuCo’s two towers to Bobby Vieira company on SARA’s radar

The State Assets Recovery Agency (SARA) will investigate the sale of two Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) transmission towers to Bobby Vieira’s Multicultural Communications Inc for $2.1 million when GuySuCo officials have said that they are worth at least $10 million each.

However, with a backlog of cases and limited human and other resources at the agency, it could be a while before investigations begin.

“Some of these cases goes back years. We have to keep the priorities and schedule going. It [the case] is a priority. All (alleged) corruption is a priority but we have to still rank them because we have limited staff and resources,” Director of SARA, Dr Clive Thomas told Stabroek News in an interview last week.
