The Guyana Swine Producers Cooperative Society Limited has denied recent allegations that it was involved in “piglet fraud,” as was claimed by a recent letter writer.
In an interview with Stabroek News recently, Chairman of the Co-op Eric Anderson and Secretary Owen McGarrell refuted the validity of the claims made in a letter that was published in the October 12 edition of the newspaper.
In the letter, titled “Piglet Fraud,” it was stated that the letter writers, who have been members of the Co-op for over two years, paid $5,000 to receive piglets and feed under a government-funded project, but were still to receive any to date. The letter claimed, however, that members of the society “took fifteen piglets for themselves,” which they kept at the society’s farm.
