The administrative management of the Guyana Post Office Corporation is insisting that a through investigation be conducted at the office of the Welfare Department at Anna Regina, urgently.
This appeal is being made again after a repeat of irregularities pertaining to the distributions of more that one Public Assistance book to a person was unearthed by postal officers, again, on Tuesday.
According to reports reaching this newspaper, four public assistance books were issued by the same welfare officer. These were subsequently seized by the postal officers.
Kaieteur News was told that on Tuesday, a woman presented four public assistances books to be cashed for two different individuals at the Anna Regina Post Office.
The report further unearthed that the operation in which two individuals were issued with two books, was blatantly prejudicial.
A senior postal officer who reported the matter to this newspaper said that it is an unethical procedure to issue more that one public assistance boos to one individual. The postal officer stressed that payments were terminated immediately, after the post master became suspicious. The matter was subsequently reported to the senior post master of Region, who further notified his superiors, in Georgetown. They later posted a call at the office of Ministry of Social Services who instructed that enough information be channeled back to the office, while immediate seizure of the books is instituted.
Both persons who received multiple books had payments July to November.
Almost a month ago, a postal officer in Region Two unearthed a similar fraud.
