Jagdeo backs call for VICE claims probe

The Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association dinner last night at the Ramada Princess Hotel.

Throwing his support behind President Irfaan Ali for security agencies to launch an immediate investigation into admissions of bribery and money laundering on explosive VICE News broadcasts, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo last night said foreigners who admit to breaking the laws should “face the consequences.”

“If people break our law and they admit to breaking our laws they should face the consequences, that is all,” Jagdeo declared as he made his way out from the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) Mid-year Dinner at Ramada Princess Hotel in Providence, East Bank Demerara.

His comments were in response to questions from Stabroek News in light of the extended VICE News report on Chinese businesses in Guyana.
