With hundreds of vehicles not returning to their country of origin after crossing into Guyana, GRA Commissioner-General, Godfrey Statia on Monday told the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that they have been working to put systems in place to address the issue.
The problem is most prevalent at the Guyana-Brazil Border Crossing as the Auditor General’s 2018 report pointed out that close to 2300 vehicles could not officially be accounted for.
PAC member and Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill queried what systems were in place to monitor the situation. It was explained that the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) has implemented a camera system and has been updating the police on a monthly basis on vehicles that are not permitted to stay in the country.
