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.
