A city magistrate on Wednesday ruled that there would be no stay in the proceedings against the former members of the Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) who are charged with committing fraud.
The decision was made on the remaining charges against former GRDB General Manager Jagnarine Singh, former Deputy Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Agriculture Prema Roopnarine, Agricultural Consultant Madanlall ‘Ricky’ Ramraj, and Member of Parliament Nigel Dharamlall.
The charges against the accused allege that they failed to record entries for funds amounting to over $250 million in the agency’s general ledger.
