Trevor Benn

March 10 ,2021

Former Commissioner and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission (GLSC), Trevor Benn was this morning arrested by the police.

Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum confirmed that Benn is currently being questioned in relation to the leasing of six acres of land at Ogle, East Coast Demerara (ECD) to Janico Vide Engineering Limited.

Benn is facing the accusation of defrauding the state by inducing persons by false pretense, knowing that the land is owned by the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL).

Benn was terminated from the post with effect from February 4th, 2021.

He received his termination letter in November 2020, which gave him three months’ notice.

On August 7th, 2002, the government had announced that all public land deals made by the APNU+AFC administration since December 21st, 2018, will be reviewed.

Even if it was twenty five cents, it was too much.

Who edits Stabroek News articles? This one says 2002. That said, good that the government is draining the swamp.

Could be the last time! Unless they save on prison garb by letting you wear your own clothes! No tie or belt, though! They don't want you hanging yourself!

Trevor is not going anywhere. He might be found Guilty and slapped with a heavy fine. Set precedence and all hell will break loose. Both the PNC and the PPP will be placed in difficult, unpleasant, and embarrassing situations.

It would be something if Trevor uses this opportunity to appear on each TV station in the night wearing his suit, tie and explaining his side of the story. The man can start a new career as a TV analyst.

Only if he is not found guilty and jailed.
