The Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry has refuted claims that it has in its account, a secret US$25 million account. On Sunday, Kaieteur News carried a story about a US$25 million account that was only recently discovered in the accounts of Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry.According to the story, the money was “in a bank account under the control of Winston Brassington, the controversial head of the Privatisation Unit.”The story attributed the discovery to Khemraj Ramjattan, Leader of the Alliance For Change (AFC), who claimed that such monies “can be used to pay public servants a much-needed increase in wages and salaries.”Regarding the bank account, Ramjattan said that a whistleblower disclosed that Brassington and Keith Burrowes, an official close to the government,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, are the main persons controlling the bank account at GBTI.“We are being told by a reliable source…a whistleblower…that the account has $4.9B in it in the name of National Cooperative Financial Services.
