Jul 15, 2021 Chester Williams Also under investigation are several persons whose names have shown up in an audit report of the COVID-19 Unemployment Relief Program under the Barrow Administration. According to information reaching News Five, the public purse was allegedly fleeced and several persons who were not eligible for relief funds received monies from the program. ComPol Chester Williams says that the National Crimes Investigation Branch is looking into this report.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police “I received a copy of that report about two to three weeks ago by the Auditor General. We sat and had a very lengthy discussion over it and that matter has been assigned to C.I.B. to investigate as well. I think I saw three prominent names in that report where persons connected to those persons were getting relief funds that they were not entitled to. And so the matter is, like I said, with the police now and we are doing our investigation.”
