Attorney James Bond has denied that the Chinese Association of Guyana is offering money to settle a matter where a driver struck two teens at Annandale last week killing one and severely injuring another.
Contacted by Stabroek News yesterday, Bond acknowledged that money had been offered to the two families out of remorse at the incident and that this would not interfere with the usual investigation of the matter.
The intervention of the Chinese Association has raised questions about the influence of the driver who it is believed has since fled to Suriname. The involvement of the Chinese Association had also left both families with the impression that an attempt was being made to settle the matter. Former Attorney General Anil Nandlall, who hails from Annandale has since intervened on behalf of the families and advised them not to accept any settlement.
