“If there is something that we know specifically of, definitely,” Jagdeo, now Opposition Leader, told a news conference yesterday, when asked if he and other members of his the former government would be willing to appear and give evidence.

Last Friday, State Minister Joseph Harmon revealed that government was considering establishing a CoI.
