General Manager of the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) Rawlston Adams last year approved the purchase of a bracelet worth nearly $900,000 for himself with money from the DHB, an investigation into the operations of the Asphalt Plant (AP) revealed.
“The Asphalt Plant along with the Demerara Harbour Bridge purchased, in November 2019, a bracelet for the General Manager, at the approval of the General Manager, to the value of Eight Hundred and Ninety-Seven Thousand Guyana Dollars (G$897,000) as a gift for International Men’s Day,” the report, commissioned by the PPP/C government in October of this year and which was released yesterday, stated.
The team, led by Chartered Accountant Chateram Ramdihal, pointed out in the report that the Board of Directors, at a meeting held in August 2016, had enunciated a policy that gifts, donations and staff incentives be approved by the Board.
