Jagdeo raps gov’t over number of murders

Leader of the Opposition Bharrat Jagdeo

Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo last week contended that there have been more murders during the tenure of the APNU+AFC government than there were during the so-called “troubles” which followed the 2002 jailbreak.

Speaking during his weekly press conference on Thursday, Jagdeo said he was “very happy” to have seen the recent investigation published by Stabroek News on the deaths during the period 2002 to 2006.

“I’m happy that for the first time we are getting from an independent source the facts of the period,” he said.
