The Guyana Sugar Cor-poration on Monday said that it will implement the recommendations made by Auditor General, Deodat Sharma following a special investigation earlier this year which discovered that the Rose Hall Estate overpaid two contractors close to $5m for mechanical tillage works in 2021
The Audit Office discovered that the overpayment stemmed from the fact that the two contractors were paid an hourly rate of $8500 instead of the stipulated $7500 after a decision was taken by the estate to pay based on hours worked. As such, the Auditor General in the report recommended “appropriate disciplinary action” against the Estate Manager, Aaron Dukhia, the estate’s Agriculture Manager, Bishan Dhanpat, and M Jaffar, Engineer Field Operations, and “any other culpable officer(s) who aided in the decision for the deviation of rates per contracts.”
