…procurement officer sent on leave
Procurement Officer at the Guyana Water Authority, Dhani Narine, has been sent on 30 days leave following allegations of corruption.
Kaieteur News has learnt that an investigation has been launched into the conduct of Narine, who is accused of making deals to receive a ‘drawback’ from contractors working with the water entity.
A source close to the entity told Kaieteur News last evening that the allegations state that Narine would inform contractors in advance how much money he wanted as ‘drawbacks’ from the deals.
The source noted that the contractors became frustrated after a while and hosted a meeting after which they filed an official complaint at the GWI.
The water company board became involved in the issue and sent Narine on leave to facilitate an investigation.
According to the source, the investigation took a turn for the worse when it was revealed that other higher officials in the water company are allegedly involved in the scam.
This newspaper was told that the scam has been ongoing for some time now and the Board of Directors is currently deliberating on the matter.
