These allegations against me are baseless

Dear Editor,

On Sunday, November 1, 2020 a statement was issued by Mohabir Anil Nandlall, Attorney General, in which he made several allegations against me and others with respect to the sale of lands at Ogle. His statement received wide coverage in both the formal and online media. These allegations (and innuendos) against me are baseless and repugnant. In my view, they are designed to impugn my character, tarnish my image and lower my esteem in the eyes of my family, friends, admirers, well-wishers and the general public. Indeed, the numerous calls, texts and messages on this matter that I received yesterday, convince me of this conclusion.

I thank all of those persons who expressed full confidence in me and for their comfort and support. I state categorically that I, Winston Jordan, former Minister of Finance in the Coalition Government performed my duties in compliance with the oath of office and to the best of my abilities. This I have done in my over 35 years of public service, in various capacities. On the advice of Counsel, I would refrain from delving into matters of an evidentiary and factual basis. This will be done at the appropriate time.  

Yours faithfully,

Winston Jordan

Former Minister of

Finance
