Former Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) accountant Peter Ramcharran was yesterday ordered to serve a three-year sentence after he was found guilty of omitting $145 million from the entity’s ledger in 2015.
Ramcharran was on trial before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in Georgetown on the charge that while being the accountant of the GRDB in Kingston, he omitted to enter $145 million in the GRDB ledger during the year 2015.
Ramcharran, who had pleaded not guilty, was called upon to lead his defence last year after the court ruled that a case was made out against him. Ramcharran, who was then represented by attorney Sase Gunraj, opted to call witnesses to testify on his behalf.
