(Kaieteur News) – Region Six’s cash grant distribution exercise has hit a snag after a Community Support Officer/Help Desk worker attached to the Hogstyle/Lancaster Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) allegedly failed to hand over several cheques that were under her responsibility, the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) heard at its statutory meeting on Thursday.

Regional Executive Officer (REO) Ronald Harsaywack told the council the distribution exercise is now in its fourth phase, but the matter involving the worker, identified as Kia Williams-Morgan, has raised questions about compliance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

APNU councillor Mehalai McAlmont pressed Harsaywack on what disciplinary action had been taken to prevent a recurrence.
