Peter Ramcharran

Former Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) accountant Peter Ramcharran, who is on trial for alleged falsification of the entity’s account ledger, is expected to give  sworn testimony early next month when his trial continues.

Two other persons are expected to testify on his behalf on the same date.

Ramcharran is currently being tried by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan on five charges of falsification of an account, which allege that while being the accountant of the GRDB, he omitted to enter a total in excess of $414 million in the GRDB ledger.
