Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Cevons Waste Management Morse Archer is to this afternoon be questioned by the police in relation to a portion of land purchased from the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission.

Stabroek News was reliably informed that Archer was summoned to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Eve Leary for questioning at 1pm.

In February, Attorney General Anil Nandlall had sent a letter to Archer indicating that the land purchased was the property of the National Sports Commission (NSC). As such, he had directed that it must be vacated by March 31.

However, Nandlall had subsequently suggested that there might be a chance for Cevons Waste Management to retain ownership of the land.

Last Friday, Former Commissioner and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission (GLSC), Trevor Benn was charged for allegedly leasing a portion of land at Ogle.

Yesterday, he was further questioned in relation to two other land transactions.
