The Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) has reported that it has taken
disciplinary action against two of its Officers who had been found
breaching established procedures governing the export of forest
products from Guyana.

A press release signed by Commissioner of Forests James Singh said that
the two Officers had been dismissed following detailed investigations
by the Commission.

Disciplinary action had also been taken against external stakeholders
who had been found to be involved in the identified breach of
procedures.

The GFC release stated that all staff and stakeholders are to be
reminded that there are established procedures governing the export of
forestry produce originating from Guyana and these must always be
complied with.

Any stakeholder who is unsure of these procedures can obtain a copy
from the nearest GFC Forest Station.

The release stated that the GFC will continue to closely monitor the
implementation of exports of forestry products and will take action
against defaulters whenever necessary.
