A businessman behind Micro Business Developers and Consultancy Company and one of his employees appeared in a city court yesterday where they were jointly charged with fraud.
The accused are 62-year-old Clayton Allen, of South Better Hope, East Coast Demerara (ECD) and Nobert Bailey, 59, of Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara (EBD), before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly, who read the charge to them.
