Cabinet has recommended that Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) Michael Khan proceed on annual leave to facilitate a review of the findings of the forensic audit into the institution.
Although well-placed sources have revealed that the recommendation for Khan to proceed on annual leave came from Cabinet, when contacted for a comment yesterday, Khan told Stabroek News that he was unaware of the recommendation. Khan had previously been sent on leave to facilitate the audit.
The embattled CEO came under more scrutiny recently after the findings of a recent audit into the operations of the hospital recommended that he be sanctioned for allegedly cheating the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) of over $1.4 million in income tax.
