Jagdeo says five PPP/C MPs targeted over property taxes

Leader of the Opposition, Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday accused the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) of victimisation after five of his party’s Members of Parliament were served with letters regarding property tax.

At a press conference, Jagdeo said that the budget debate was not even completed when the letters were served and suspects that it was because of vindictiveness of the government or Minister of Finance, Winston Jordan.

According to him, five of the PPP/C MPs; Frank Anthony, Indra Chandarpal, Irfaan Ali, Joe Hamilton and Juan Edghill received the letters on Wednesday night and yesterday morning.
