Former Attorney General and People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) parliamentarian Anil Nandlall says he plans to make a formal complaint to the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) over the sale of government’s shares in Guyana Stockfeeds Inc. to the company’s Chief Executive Robert Badal, while charging that the transaction is almost identical to the ones for which former Finance Minister Ashni Singh and former NICIL head Winston Brassington were charged.
“When one compares this with the transactions which formed the basis for the criminal charges instituted against Dr. Ashni Singh, former Minister of Finance, and Winston Brassington, former CEO of NICIL, one would see quickly that they were virtually identical,” Nandlall told Stabroek News.
“There were public advertisements for those transactions and the properties were sold to the highest bids received. Each transaction received the approval of Cabinet. Therefore, if Singh and Brassington committed criminal offences, then fairness and justice would demand that charges be immediately instituted in respect of the Stockfeeds’ purchase of shares,” he added.
