– Will volunteer his service
Chairman of the Guyana Chronicle’s Board of Directors Mr. Keith Burrowes has been named Presidential Advisor on Financial Matters. This disclosure was made yesterday by Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon.
According to Luncheon, President Donald Ramotar has issued instructions to that effect. Luncheon yesterday described Burrowes as “a man of many talents”.
Luncheon stated that Burrowes has assumed the additional responsibility without reducing his involvement in other issues, and would be working under pro bono terms and conditions – strictly voluntarily. He will work directly with the President and Office of the President.
Luncheon further asserted that Burrowes’ forte is in financial management, an area which he has had much exposure, and added that he currently chairs the board at Go-Invest among other institutions.
Recently, Burrowes, who is also the Chairman of the Implementation Committee, had written to Mr. Ganga Persaud, Minister of Local Government and to Junior Minister Mr. Norman Whittaker, recommending that charges be laid against the Mayor and City Council’s Town Clerk and City Treasurer.
The Ministry of Local Government made the disclosure that they had discovered that the Mayor and City Council owes various entities over $1B. According to reports, the investigation was sparked by allegations against the Town Clerk and the Treasurer by the Auditor General’s office. The probe soon became more detailed.
