He said the board would inform the Commissioner General of the GRA, Mr. Edgar Heyligar and President Bharrat Jagdeo who appointed Heyligar, about the outcome of their deliberations.

Luncheon told his regular post-Cabinet news conference yesterday at the Presidential Secretariat, Georgetown that the GRA Board has already started meeting on this urgent issue.

Heyligar yesterday said the board has met and discussed Marks' public statements of corruption by an officer of the GRA and a city businessman and a conspiracy by members of the GRA and others to get rid of him.

But Heyligar said he was not prepared to make any disclosures about the meeting or its outcome.

He, however, said that the GRA board has to meet again on the issue.

He last week indicated that Marks' going to the press was unethical and said he would have reported to the board of the authority.

Marks had claimed that more than once he was pressured by Heyligar and was not allowed to carry out his professional responsibilities at Customs House. Marks also voiced his vexation about Heyligar's alleged refusal to publicly deny that he (Heyligar) had cited him in the media for irregularities.

Last Friday, Marks pulled back on his threat to expose "corruption in high places" and drugs and `back track' (illegal migration) related murders.

When a 48-hour deadline was up at 15:00 hrs last Friday for him to supply the information he had to the Police and other relevant authorities, Marks sent a letter to Luncheon saying that "he never had and never pretended to have" any such information.

Marks had told reporters at a news briefing that they would be hearing from him on such matters as corruption in high places; overseas properties and bank accounts; drug traffficking and money laundering; drug related murder of Herman Sanichar; backtrack related murder of Lloyd Bacchus; and the murder of a Customs Officer at Grove, East Bank Demerara.
