Despite fears of a cover-up, Kaieteur News owner Glenn Lall and senior reporter Leonard Gildarie yesterday met with police to clarify the complaint about threats allegedly made by Attorney-General (AG) Anil Nandlall.
Attorney Christopher Ram, who accompanied both men, later told Stabroek News that the police have enough material in their possession to proceed with an investigation, while saying it was shocking that there appeared to be no immediate intention to interview Nandlall. “We were astonished to learn that there is no immediate plan to interview Nandlall. That is completely mind boggling,” Ram stressed.
The interview came after police on two successive days said that attempts to contact both men to clarify the complaint had been unsuccessful. Lall has since denied the police’s claims.
The circulation of the recording of a damning conversation in which a voice said to be the AG’s is heard intimating that the use of deadly violence against the Kaieteur News was acceptable, has prompted calls for his resignation by the parliamentary opposition as well as the Guyana Bar Association and the Guyana Women Lawyers
