Police took no action over 2017-18 school feeding fraud in Region Eight

With charges yet to be brought over a multi-million dollar school feeding fraud in Region Eight from 2017 to 2018, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) yesterday requested that the authorities write to the acting Commissioner of Police for an update on the status of the investigation.

None of the officials at the PAC meeting, who included Regional Executive Officer, Peter Ramotar and Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development, Prema Roopnarine could provide clear answers on the investigation.
