Contending that the action brought by the State against former Finance Minister Winston Jordan over the controversial sale of river frontage to BK Marine, was politically motivated, attorney Roysdale Forde SC is seeking to have the case thrown out.
In court documents seen by this newspaper, Forde contends that the “action is indicative of political harassment and persecution” over the March 2nd, 2020 general and regional elections.
Last month, Attorney General (AG) Anil Nandlall SC lodged a claim in the High Court seeking to overturn the contentious sale which according to him should have been valued at $5b but was sold to BK for a fraction of that figure.
