The Guyana Police Force has launched an investigation into the financial affairs of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB), Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee disclosed today.

It is the latest move in a high-stakes confrontation between the government and the GCB which has seen both the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and the International Cricket Council (ICC) hinting that Guyana could he shut out from regional and international cricket.

Rohee at a press briefing told reporters that he had written to the Police Commissioner (ag) Leroy Brummell requesting that the police force conduct an immediate investigation into the affairs of the GCB. “There is a general belief that everything is not all right with respect to the financial activities of the Guyana Cricket Board. There are certain documents which have to be perused in order to ascertain the extent to which this situation obtains” he noted.

Excerpts from Stabroeknews

The Govt moved too slow..drag their feet on this issue. The regional matches and likely the Test matches have been taken away from Guyana. $$MILLIONs will be lost from the Guyana economy.

The G.C.B needs to get their acts together....it will be in the best interest of the country...the I.M.C should stay in place until...the G.C.B are accountable and act responsible....Guyanese Cricket should not suffer because of action of the G.C.B....

ASk Smartass Dr Dr Dr to fix it. Hahaha!!! The PPP and Jagdeo making Guyana a laughing stock once again.

They have to be involved if there is fraud. But you are right on them taking over the governing body. The govt must moderate and enforce laws but not dictate.

THIS IS A DISPLAY OF TRUE DEMOCRACY AT IT'S BEST. GOD BLESS GUYANA.
