“Teef and Kerr’ Back”?

He forged Housing Minister Michael Finnegan's name on a government housing grant - and now a government clerk is wanted by police. CEO in the Ministry of Housing Lawrence Sylvester has confirmed that an office assistant who was performing clerical duties forged the Honourable Finnegan's signature on applications for home improvement grants. He did it twice, on October twenty - third for one-thousand dollars, and on the 24th for 6,700 dollars. Sylvester says the ministry discovered the forgery and fraud through routine internal checks. But by then, the money had already been transferred into his account. With that, Housing was able to recover $4,460 from the bank and Sylvester says they are pursuing every administrative, criminal and civil procedure to recover the balance. The ministry has also recommended to the public services commission disciplinary action with a view to immediate dismissal. They have also reported the matter to Belmopan police. The young man, whose name has not been released has been working at the ministry since 2009.
