Former Director of  Special Projects at the National Works Agency (NWA) George Knight, is among five men charged by the Major Organised and Anti-Corruption Task Force, MOCA, with fraud.

Mr Knight, the CEO and President of  Cenitech Limited, and founder of the company, 62 year old Clava Mantock Snr, have been charged with forgery, uttering forged documents and conspiracy to deceive.

The others who were charged last night are Mr Mantock’s son, 32 year old Analyst Clava Mantock Jnr; 40 year old Melville Edwards, a Director of  Cenitech and 48 year old Police Inspector, Andrew Bobb, sub-officer in charge of  the Manchioneal Police Station.

The men were arrested on Friday during operations conducted by MOCA and the Anti-Corruption Branch, ACB. The cops raided several locations including the offices of  Cenitech off Eastwood Park Road. MOCA said the arrests stemmed from a two-year investigation which also involved the Financial Investigation Division.
