Commissioner General of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) Khurshid Sattaur yesterday said that the container which contained timber and five bags of cocaine was cleared by the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC), but not by customs officers even as he vowed that an independent investigation will be conducted into the drug bust.
According to Sattaur, who did not reveal where the container of timber was packed, preliminary investigations revealed that customs officers were vigilant and diligent in the execution of their duties
