Former chief executive officer of the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) Kevin Allen declared emphatically yesterday that he could not have signed a C-84 Customs form to allow for the hospital to apply its tax-exempt status to benefit two private companies in 2023 and 2024.

“I don’t know anything about that transaction whatsoever, so I am clueless where that is concerned,” Allen told members of Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC).

Allen made it clear that he had already resigned from the hospital in 2022, noting that he could not account for the tax waivers after he left the institution.
