Gajraj suing Teixeira for defamation of character

Former Home Affairs Minister Ronald Gajraj is suing his successor Gail Teixeira for defamation over statements she allegedly made about him which were contained in a US diplomatic cable released by the Wikileaks website.

The contents of the cable were carried in yesterday’s Guyana Chronicle. A summons was served on Teixeira this morning at PPP Headquarters at Freedom House. The Chronicle is also being sued.
