Transparency Institute Guyana Inc (TIGI) yesterday added its voice to growing calls for a commission of inquiry as regards the disclosures by VICE News on suggestions that there is an organized system of bribery of officials of government at very high levels and systems to provide money-laundering services.
In a statement, the local anti-corruption group said “We do not know how such spectacular allegations could be allowed to fester for so long without action on the part of the government especially after both President (Irfaan) Ali and Vice President (VP) Bharrat Jadgeo were recorded as having agreed that an investigation was necessary”.
