Former Finance Secretary, Nirmal Rekha
This development was disclosed to the members of the media yesterday by Minister of State, Joseph Harmon.
The Minister said that Cabinet was briefed by Finance Minster, Winston Jordan on this matter.
Harmon said that Rekha had proceeded on leave which came to an end on July 31. Since then, Rekha has not returned to his post.
The Minister of State said that several attempts were made to contact Rekha but calls even to his home went unanswered. However, Harmon understands that Rekha was in contact with his secretary at least on two occasions after July 31.
