There appears to be vindication on the part of the Ministry of Home Affairs as it relates to that entity’s accounting for the $90M allocated to the Guyana Police Force for the November 28, 2011 elections.
According to the budgetary explanation the money was to meet additional expenditure for the General and Regional Elections for feeding rural constables working on Election Day. The money was also to feed the ranks of the Guyana Police Force and to meet expenditures associated “with the intensification of patrols in and around the city.”
The furor had erupted after at least one divisional Commander David Ramnarine complained that he had not received sufficient funds for the ranks under his command. The Home Affairs Ministry later released details of a cheque for $320,000 made to Ramnarine.
This sparked a confrontation with the Guyana Police Force and Ministry of Home Affairs, both of which claimed no wrongdoing.
Auditor General Deodat Sharma has since undertaken an in depth probe of the $90M and while the investigation has not been completed the initial reports point to no wrongdoing.
A source close to the investigation said that so far everything checks out.
The probe consists mainly of a verification exercise and corroborating the paper trails such as receipts and vouchers for expenditures. There is nothing to shout about.”
Apart from maintaining that the report will be submitted soon, the Auditor General has declined any further comments on the matter.
He had told this publication that the findings will determine when the results will be made public.
Sharma explained that depending on what the probe uncovers the report will be made immediately or will just form a part of the annual report which he would normally undertake.
The Auditor General says that he is in possession of the relevant documents and will look into each aspect of the allegations being leveled against the officials.
The major opposition parties, namely Alliance for Change and A Partnership for National Unity, had demanded a probe into the $90M that Government allocated to the police for meals and other expenses for the November 28 elections, but which some Divisional Commanders say never reached them.

Where is the damn report? Why was one necessary in a procedural matter if not because in the habit of corrupt practice every administrative act is a state secret.

NICIL will have some of you fools in jail. It will take years to unravel those crooked schemes that landed multimillion dollar state properties into the hands of PPP cronies.

Fact:
NICIL is 100% owned by the government of Guyana and was formed not by the PPPC administration. It was incorporated under the Corporations Act, an Act of Parliament, in July 1990 during the PNC regime.

What does all of that has to do with the price of tea in china. It was set up brought on line '91 to manage state assets and state partnerships with other entities. It was not set up to be the PPP private slush fund or the mechanism through which they can disburse the peoples properties to cronies.
Do not read a little here and a little there and believe you know. NIS and NBS are in deep shit because of the insider trading here.

You are not worthy of a conversation. You have no morale standards. For you, it is ok to steal as long as it is small amounts. That is how how you become a criminal.
Ask your friend who was recently sentenced to jail. At least, based on your post here at this BB, you knew him.
You have made a totally mockery of yourself.
Storm has lost his mind. I am not one bit surprised since this happens when someone drinks snake oil all day long.

I know, an insipid racist and practiced PPP butt licker speaking to me of morals? Take a hike fool.
The gentleman was not my friend. I knew him when we were kids and our connection was chasing girls and even that was on a couple of occasions because the targets intersected.
Have not spokn to him since and but would gladly have if I met him on the street because what he did in the cover of darkness was not in anyway condoned or known to me. It blindsided even his close friends.
If you simpletons take idle chit chat here and forge moral biographies it is little wonder you are all so haplessly blind to the real disease in the PPP.

Corruption is now at the step of the AFC
HASEEF YUSUF, AFC Councillor, Region 6: IT is with profound thought and extreme deliberation that I have finally made this decision to let the public know, especially the Alliance For Change (AFC) members and supporters in Berbice of the corrupt and fraudulent practices of certain AFC members in Berbice, more specifically a Member of Parliament (MP).
He has been on DTV 8 for the past few years where he hosted a programme called ‘Issues of the People’, where he vehemently lashed out at the government, the PPP/C, GPL, GWI and the Guyana Police Force, Guysuco, etcetera. He proclaimed himself as the ‘champion’ of transparency, justice and accountability. He entertained anyone who claims to have a grievance and he would lash out without any supporting evidence. He also claimed on numerous occasions that he would ‘singlehandedly’ deliver Berbicians from oppression and corruption, even if the AFC fails to do so.
However, certain post-election events greatly contradicted this image he is trying so hard to portray on TV. I will deal chronologically with these events and you be the judge.
Just after the November elections, three AFC groups submitted financial reports on campaign activities to the Head Office: New Amsterdam, Whim and Upper Corentyne. Two of these groups submitted detailed reports with the necessary supporting documents; however, the Whim Group headed by this MP failed to do so. He submitted a financial report without supporting documents and he furthermore made a ludicrous claim. He claimed that he spent $4.5 M from his pocket and that the party should reimburse him. Two points should be noted here:
I) He was not authorised by the executive or the Campaign Manager to spend in excess of what funds were given to him through the party or by way of donations;
II) He provided no documentary evidence whatever to support his claim of $ 4.5M. In fact, he claimed that he was too busy for that. Right now he is asking for same such evidence in Parliament!
I want to add here that even for funds collected, no receipts were issued. In fact, he would tell a woman working at his house to ‘throw it in the box upstairs.’
The central executive of the party categorically refused to entertain his spurious and unsubstantiated claim for reimbursement. This led to the next linked event.
On February 1 this year, he convened a meeting at his Whim office where 51 members were present. At this meeting, he emphasised that the party owed him $4.5M and he tried to solicit funds through donations and fund- raising activities in order to recoup his claim of $4.5M ‘owed’ to him. He then convened an election to form a Regional Management Committee and to establish an AFC Office at his Office at Whim. One of the functions of this RMC would be fund-raising through which he would get ‘his money back.’
I was unanimously elected by all 51 members present as the Chairman, Mr. Lionel Howell as the Vice- Chairman and Ms. Donna Mathoo as the Secretary.
Among other things, I put forward fund-raising suggestions to the members present and asked their suggestions as to what should be done with excess funds above the needs of individual groups and everyone unanimously agreed that all excess funds should be placed into a bank account to take care of future expenses. No one present agreed that monies collected should be used to offset the claim by the MP. This irked him.
At this same meeting, he also suggested that a certain female be selected and employed to work at the AFC office to be opened at Whim. I strongly objected to this sort of cronyism and suggested that applications be invited so that there is fairness and transparency and that the most suitable person be selected. Can you imagine a fledgling party behaving in this undemocratic manner? Suddenly I became this MP’s number one enemy, but I can live with that!
The third event unfolded on April 16, 2012. Unknowing to Donna Mathoo (the Secretary) and I, another election meeting was convened to re-elect office bearers to the Regional Management Committee. The meeting held on February 1, 2012 was declared unconstitutional by the General Secretary, Mr. Sixtus Edwards. I knew about this meeting two days later when Mr. Lionel Howell called me to hand over some funds and documents to him, the new Chairman.
However three points should be raised here:
i) Donna and I were never officially or unofficially informed that the election held on February 1 was null and void and that we were no longer the Chairman and Secretary respectively, and that the office will become vacant;
ii) We were not invited to present ourselves for nomination or otherwise; and
iii) A public announcement was not made about the election meeting. The AFC’s Constitution Article, Section 8, has made it clear that all groups in the region should be invited for any such meeting. Less than 20 members were present. Why the MP did not make a public announcement on DTV 8 the week before so that members could take notice? Why only a selected handful of members? Is this not rigging? Is this not fraudulent?
It is time to take out the ‘beam from thine own eyes’ Mr. MP!
And lo and behold the very same female whom the good MP recommended was employed to work in the AFC Office! And yet speakest thou about cronyism! This is a shame and disgrace to the very principles which the AFC stand for or claims to stand for!
The million dollar (or 4.5 million) question that I want Mr. Ramjattan to answer is: Was the MP acting in the interest in the AFC or in his own self-interest?
The other questions are:
i) Where is the accountability within the AFC?
ii) Where is the transparency in the electoral process?
iii) Isn’t there cronyism within the AFC?
iv)What are you going to do about these matters?
v) Afraid of another defection if you drop the hammer?
I doubt whether Mr. Ramjattan has the courage to act decisively in these matters since I have emailed him three times and on the third occasion he said that he was too busy and that the General Secretary will deal with these matters.
In any other country the misuse and abuse of campaign funds are dealt with criminally, especially where a person is making unsubstantiated claims in order to enrich himself or herself. But alas ! In Guyana such a person will be promoted to high offices.
I still want to know which university made that terrible blunder to confer that MP with a doctorate as he is unfit for public office and should be severely reprimanded for his actions. I call upon the party’s Chairman, Mr. Ramjattan and the Central Executive to act decisively now or face the consequences later.
At this point I am undecided as to what my next move will be, but I am sure that it hinges on how the party will take it from here.
Corruption is now at the step of the AFC
fat albert you jump ahead of yourself again just like the ppp crime family did about the oil.you ppp thief is vex you already plan to thief the oil money

The 90 million is accounted for by the home affairs ministry, by the millions Ramaya allegedly embezzled, the goons of the AFC are very tight lipped.

We are waiting the details of the audit. Saying it is done and presenting the report to be vetted is the process for accountability. They do not get to deem themselves "passed".
