Jagdeo says only knew of failed attempts to serve him court papers after reading SN

Following reports by former Auditor General Anand Goolsarran that eight futile attempts had been made to serve court papers on Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo for a libel case brought against him, Jagdeo said on Thursday that he was not aware of the number of attempts but said that the documents can be delivered to either the Attorney General or his attorney.

“I won’t know, because I read it in the Stabroek News that it was eight times [he is saying]. Nobody told me that [he came eight times],” Jagdeo said when asked at Thursday’s press conference hosted at Freedom House, Robb Street.

“I am in the public domain. People know my schedule. I was in Linden. They could have come and see me in the public or drop it off by the AG [Attorney General] or my lawyer,” he added.
