Last night, we took you to the Cayo Village of Buena Vista where an allegation of theft of public funds emerged this weekend. A number of questionable cheques have surfaced after months of inquiry by the Chairman of the Village Council. He suspected that the Chairman of the Village's Water Board had pocketed money that the villagers were paying to get access to water. Well, his persistence paid off when the Water Board's bank released the copies of the cheques, some of which was in the name of the chairman, Julio Castillo.
As we've shown you, he has declared his innocence explaining that he only cashed cheques in his name to get access to the money to do the work of the Water Board. He and his secretary have shown us written records which they assert should prove their innocence.
Well, we've since been informed that the Ministry of Rural Development has been sent a copy of the report, and the investigation will conclude when they review the financials and determine if theft had occurred.
