National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) head Lionel Wordsworth is denying that there is any financial impropriety involved in $200 million being unaccounted for, as investigations continue and the two officials embroiled in the mismanagement of the money remain off the job.
In January, this newspaper had reported that a coordinator and supervisor of the NDIA’s Community Drainage and Irrigation Project (CDIP) were sent on administrative leave after it was discovered during an audit, that the sum could not be accounted for.
Wordsworth told Stabroek News recently that investigations into the matter are ongoing and he added that these involve the evaluation of all the records and other data
