An internal probe at the Post Office has concluded that a clerk is believed to have pilfered ten thousand dollars from the express mail service between October and November of this year - but today that clerk was still at work. Deputy Postmaster General James Gabriel told us that they do not have to power to suspend or terminate him - so all they could do was transfer him to the parcel post department, where he is quote, "sitting down".
He says the report has been forwarded to the CEO in the Ministry of Works and Transport, Errol Gentle who will decide whether to ask the public service commission to suspend or terminate the clerk and whether to make a police report.
This clerk took over in May or June after his predecessor, a female staffer misappropriated about twenty thousand dollars in five months. Gabriel told us that additional controls were put in place after that debacle - but, apparently, it wasn't enough.
