A senior official of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) has reportedly been asked to resign after complaints of sexual harassment were made against him by a number of female staffers.
GRA officials confirmed that management of the state agency heard the complaints recently and ordered the Head of GRA’s Integrated Regional Tax Offices, to hand in his resignation.
GRA officials said it is not the first time that the man, a former Deputy Head of the Customs Administration Department, has been mired on such complaints.
The senior official reportedly went to Berbice recently where he was asked by a staff member to approve a transfer for her. However, the officer allegedly made inappropriate advances to the female while promising to assist her.
The matter was taken to the highest forum at GRA.
It was also alleged that there were complaints from Essequibo about the official.
Yesterday, GRA’s Commissioner, Khurshid Sattaur, declined to comment on the matter, neither acknowledging nor refuting the report.
