Chairman of the Enmore/Hope Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) Mark Mahase is distancing himself from the council’s reported failure to account for part of the profit from a fundraising barbecue, while maintaining that all funds were handed over to the overseer, who has since resigned.
“Now, what we find strange is that my name is being called concerning money. All the times the overseer controls everything and he has to give a proper report for the transaction of the money,” Mahase told Stabroek News in wake of a recent report by the Region Four administration that a recent investigation had found that money was missing after the NDC reported a loss following the fundraiser.
A press statement from the RDC two Thursdays ago said Assistant Regional Executive Officer (AREO) Ramnarine Singh told a Regional Accounting Committee (RAC) meeting at Triumph that “despite recording some $1 million in sales from the [barbecue], the NDC reported that they made a loss.”
