THE College of The Bahamas has asked the Royal Bahamas Police Force to investigate allegations of fraud by reason of employment by a clerk at the college.

In a statement released on Friday evening the college said: “Upon receipt of information of the suspected violation, the College immediately suspended the individual without pay pending further investigation, alerted the relevant authorities and requested a full and thorough investigation. The College will now let the criminal justice system take its course. This is in keeping with the institution’s fiduciary responsibility to uphold public trust.

“The College will always stand for transparent and efficient corporate governance. At this time, the College is limited with respect to its ability to disclose further information as this matter is under active investigation.”
