Like many, I got sucked into believing him.

Now that the facts are released, here are some important facts to remember.

1. Police waited till after midnight until they received a search warrant before moving out any items from his residence.

2. He was charged for larceny.

3. He was interviewed at Diamond and later transferred to Brickdam Police station.

4. He was allowed to have a lawyer at the Police Station.

5. 

"Police, in a release, stated that a report was made against Jones, alleging that he was in possession of state assets valuing over $4M. Upon receiving the report, ranks of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) proceeded to investigate by going to the residence of Jones, where he was contacted and told of the purpose of their visit.
According to Police, upon arrival at the residence, the ranks observed items at the home fitting the description of the items reported to be state assets. The Police further stated that contact was made with Jones, who was told of the allegation but refused the lawmen permission to search his property, claiming that they were not in possession of a search warrant."

6. This is of concerns and involves alleged criminality ?

"According to audit documents seen by Guyana Times, Regional Administration received an Inter/Intra Departmental Warrant (IDW) 6/2019 dated June 19, 2019, from the Social Protection Ministry valuing $4.985 million for the procurement of equipment for barber shop under Sustainable Livelihood and Entrepreneurial Development (SLED).
The SLED programme works by distributing interest-free cash grants to registered groups and associations needing the economic boost to improve their economic enterprises.
According to the audit report, a Financial Return presented revealed that the full amount was expended as at December 31, 2019. An audit examination of the relevant records revealed that two payment vouchers to the value of $4.084M and $900,999 were issued for the purchase of the equipment.
Audit documents further discovered that approval was not granted from the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) for the procurement of a Condensing Unit valuing $1.528 million. However, audit checks revealed that the item was still purchased and supplied."

Based on the above, it appears that the police acted appropriately and the state must move to recover state assets.

Will he end up in jail ? Most likely.

What do you think ?
