RODNEY CHIN, the director in Universal Management Development Company Limited (UMD), which executed the distribution of energy-saving Cuban light bulbs here, is to be questioned by the Fraud Squad next week.

Valrie Neita Robertson, attorney-at-law representing Chin, told The Gleaner yesterday that she has agreed for the police to quiz her client.

Meanwhile, it was not clear whether police would seek to interview Kern Spencer, the former junior government minister who had responsibility for the light bulb project. Deborah Martin, Spencer's attorney, said she was not aware of any arrangements to speak with her client.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Fitz Bailey, former head of the Fraud Squad, who is investigating, told The Gleaner that the investigations are ongoing.

The light bulb saga unfolded in November 2007 when Energy Minister Clive Mullings told the House of Representatives that there were serious concerns about the way four million free Cuban bulbs were distributed.

It was revealed that Chin's UMD undertook the distribution of the bulbs. Another of Chin's companies, Caribbean Communications and Media Network, was responsible for communication in the energy-saving project, which cost over $276 million.
