The criminal proceedings against PNCR member James Bond and former acting Chief Executive Officer of the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL) Colvin Heath-London, who are accused of conspiring to defraud the state through the unsanctioned disposal of land at Peters Hall, East Bank Demerara, will be disposed of via a summary trial.
The matters were called before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in Georgetown on Monday, when the prosecutor requested that the matters be disposed of summarily.
Bond and Heath-London were both absent from the hearing. However, Bond’s attorney informed the court that his client was running late, while Heath-London’s attorney told the court that he was absent because he was stranded in Jamaica.
