Gya: Government run scam

A prominent attorney-at-law has told Stabroek News that his client was legally entitled to duty-free concessions but was "forced" to pay somebody in one of the government ministries for the speeding up of her application.

According to the attorney, the client, whom he declined to name, has made an arrangement for amnesty with the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA). He said too that one of the conditions of the arrangement with the GRA was that the individual was restrained from speaking to the media.
