Two former presidents have filed lawsuits for the non-payment of sums of money and other benefits caused by the passage of the Former Presidents (Benefits and Other facilities) Act, Attorney General Basil Williams today revealed to the media.
The separate Notices of Motion filed on behalf of Donald Ramotar and Bharrat Jagdeo did not specify figures, but seeks several orders and declarations pertaining to the money being paid over.
In a brief statement during a press conference, Williams said Ramotar and Jagdeo have caused applications to be filed in the High Court seeking in effect “to receive the large sums of money” in benefits and other facilities that were capped on the coming into operation of the Act.
He said the matters will come up before acting Chief Justice Ian Chang
