Minister of State Joseph Harmon is threatening to take legal action against Kaieteur News (KN) unless there is a public apology and retraction of what he contends are thirteen “defamatory” reports on his recent trip to China and his association with Chinese logging company Baishanlin.
Harmon, through his lawyer Roysdale Forde, is also seeking from KN the donation of $13M to the Veteran’s Foundation.
A letter, dated May 11th, 2016 and signed by Forde, outlined Harmon’s grievances and gave the newspaper 24 hours from receipt to comply with the demands contained therein.
