Although no substantial evidence emerged from an investigation into alleged financial misconduct at the Demerara Harbour Bridge Corporation’s Asphalt Plant, the probe team says that they found poor internal controls which need to be bolstered in order to prevent the multiple discrepancies that were unearthed.
Following allegations made in a Kaieteur News  article,  subject Minister Juan Edghill established a team to conduct investigations.
The investigative team, which consisted of Chateram Ramdihal – team leader; Heidi Gillette, Brion Singh, and Dexter Smith, was appointed on October 5th and yesterday handed over their final report to Edghill at the Ministry’s Wight’s Lane location. They were also tasked with examining the systems at the Plant, finding out its reliability and weaknesses which would allow for malpractices to be capitalized on, determining culpability and the appropriate penalty to be meted out to those involved and provide recommendations on a way forward.
