Former president Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday declared that he does not have hidden wealth in shell accounts and is willing to declare his holdings, both local and overseas, if the opposition members would do the same.
“Anywhere, the answer is ‘no,’” Jagdeo said when asked by Stabroek News if, given the international focus on tax havens and shell accounts in wake of the leaked ‘Panama Papers,’ he had any unknown accounts.
“I am prepared, and I mentioned it to (Prime Minister Moses) Nagamootoo, because they like to talk… I saw him and I said ‘why don’t we go to the Parliament together, to ask Interpol to find out about all Members of Parliament who have bank accounts abroad, who have shares in companies etcetera,
