False report targets GRA lawyer

Dec 07, 2015 News

A report about the Guyana Revenue Authority assessing and recommending that Attorney at Law Hissaun Yasin-Nandlall be demoted was a document that may have been tampered with, according to Chairman of the GRA Board, Rawle Lucas.
In the wake of the publication in the Friday issue of Kaieteur News, Mr. Lucas said that the Board never discussed Ms. Yasin-Nandlall because there was nothing to discuss.
A document seen by Kaieteur and forwarded to Mr. Lucas suggested that Ms. Yasin-Nandlall was under-performing and was costing GRA some $845,000 in retainer fees per month.
Ms. Yasin-Nandlall said that such a recommendation might have been made five years ago when she was experiencing difficulties with the GRA administration.
She said that someone wishing to embarrass her must have doctored the document seen by Kaieteur News and released it.
Given the circumstances the newspaper apologises to Ms. Yasin-Nandlall.
