-Trotman awaiting final reports before taking action
A complaint to President David Granger of mismanagement and corruption at the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), in which top officials have been fingered, has sparked a probe and Minister of Natural Resources Raphael Trotman is awaiting the final report to inform further action on the claims.
He has noted that such complaints have in part informed the plans for the restructuring of the GGMC and other agencies under the purview of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MoNR).
“My answer to all these is the restructuring process that commenced recently,” Trotman said, when asked by Sunday Stabroek about a letter written to the president from an anonymous GGMC staff member. The letter, seen by this newspaper, was sent to the president in April. The writer, among other things, alleged that the management of the GGMC is corrupt and has been disrespectful to the then Junior Minister of Natural Resources Simona Broomes.
