The trial of former General Manager of the Guyana Marketing Corporation (GMC) Nizam Hassan, who is accused of approving payments for substandard work on the company’s headquarters, continued yesterday with the testimony of two more witnesses, including a former executive assistant.
It is alleged that Hassan conspired with Hanniel Madramootoo, the former agriculture ministry engineer, and others to approve payments to Constantine Engineering and Construction Services, although the works were “incompetently and incorrectly” done.
Hassan and Felicia De Souza-Madramootoo, the wife of the engineer, are on trial before Chief Magis-trate Ann McLennan, while efforts are still ongoing to locate the other accused.
