Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

(BIS, Nassau, Bahamas) The Ministry of Finance announced today that 16 officers of the Customs Department are being interdicted pending the determination of misconduct charges being brought against them.

The letters calling on the 16 to show cause as to why they should not be dismissed from the Public Service are being issued by the Department of Public Service and call on the officers to respond to specific charges of misconduct within 14 days.

The 16 officers are also being issued letters of interdiction, which means that they will be suspended from work with full pay during the determination of the charges. The Ministry also announced as part of its on-going restructuring exercise that 10 Customs officers are being transferred to other Government Departments, three are being retired in the public interest and one is being given early retirement.
