Peter Ramcharran

Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan yesterday announced that she would be making a ruling next week on the five charges laid against former Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) accountant Peter Ramcharran for allegedly falsifying the entity’s accounts.

The five charges against Ramcharran, who is being tried by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court One, allege that while being the accountant of the GRDB, he omitted to enter a total in excess of $414 million in the GRDB ledger.

At yesterday’s hearing, Chief Magistrate McLennan informed Ramcharran that she was setting February 7th as the date when she would make a decision on whether he is guilty of the charges.
