Jordan discharged from hospital

Winston Jordan

Former Minister of Finance Winston Jordan has been discharged from the hospital and is at home recuperating.

Jordan was hospitalized at a private facility on Thursday after he was arrested by the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), which informed him that he would be charged with misconduct in public office over the sale of state lands at Mudflat, Kingston, Georgetown, to prominent contractor Brian Tiwarie, of the BK Group of Companies. 

Jordan was expected to return to SOCU yesterday for further questioning but his attorney, Roysdale Forde SC, told Stabroek News he did not and that he was at home recuperating.
