Head of the Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB), Nizam Hassan, was yesterday terminated from his job for what sources say was the country’s inability to collect over $1 billion owed for rice shipments sold to Panama.
“He was terminated and it had to do with us not being able to get the money for the rice which was sold to Panama,” a source told Stabroek News.
A contracted employee of the GRDB, Hassan was yesterday handed a letter from the Ministry of Agriculture, notifying him that his tenure had come to an end.
