Money laundering law in two months – Jagdeo

– despite inactive committee

President Bharrat Jagdeo said money-laundering legislation – sent to a Select Committee since June 2007 – would be passed in the next two months despite the fact that the committee has done nothing in the past year since the bill was sent there for deliberation.

Since its formation, the committee met only once and it was a procedural meeting to elect a chairman – Minister of Finance Dr Ashni Singh.
