National Sports Commission Director allegedly pays assistant $3M for doing nothing
…also paid for lights that commission never received
The Director of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Christopher Jones, has found himself in ‘hot water’ after allegedly instructing the accountant of that entity to pay his Personal Assistant, Brian Smith, over $3M by way of
NSC Director, Christopher Jones
a cheque.
The only trouble is, the payment was for works that were allegedly done by three companies that provided cleaning and other services to the commission during the 2016 Inter Guiana Games.
This newspaper has seen evidence that Smith did not do any work on behalf of the commission and therefore the cheque should not have been paid to him.
What is strange about the request is the fact that Jones had initially instructed Radhika Sukhai, the NSC accountant, to make the said cheque payable to a ‘Mr. Harry’.
Wanting to do due diligence the accountant contacted Mr. Harry who informed her that he had no knowledge of what she was referring to. In fact, the gentleman said he did no such works and was not entitled to that sum.
It was at this point that Jones then changed his request and asked that the cheque be paid to his Personal Assistant, the accountant duly complied and cut the cheque to Smith.
Upon preparing the cheque the accountant sought the signature of one official who refused to sign clearing the payment.
