Despite a court order, the Ministry of Education is yet to recoup money to cover the cost of stolen fuel by a former employee, according to Permanent Secretary Alfred King.
King made the disclosure to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) during the scrutiny of the findings of fraud in the Auditor General’s reports for 2017 and 2018.
According to King, while the former employee, Mark Samuels, of 276 South Ruimveldt, George-town was found guilty of the charges of fraudulently obtaining a little over $1 million in diesel from GuyOil and he was ordered to repay the sum, no payment has been made since the matter was concluded in 2020.
