Former President Bharrat Jagdeo on Thursday declared that he had nothing to do with convicted drug lord, Shaheed ‘Roger’ Khan or a phantom gang and said if he is found guilty of crimes here, he should be jailed again.
“We are not afraid of Roger Khan’s release because we had nothing to do with Roger Khan and if he did crime in Guyana he must face the consequences too. We’re not afraid of that,” Jagdeo said.

Khan, who is expected to be released on July 8, 2019 from a US jail for trafficking cocaine to that country, had stated in several newspaper statements before he had been captured in neighbouring Suriname that he had prevented the Jagdeo administration from being toppled by a coup.

New GPC, others face scrutiny as forensic audit into drugs procurement begins

JULY 13, 2015 | BY KNEWS |– says Junior Finance Minister Jaipaul Sharma

New GPC

Junior Finance Minister Jaipaul Sharma disclosed that his team of auditors is already one week into the forensic audit launched into the Ministry of Health and the Georgetown Public Hospital to once and for all settle the decade old controversy over the procurement of drugs and pharmaceuticals.

This has come as good news for some legal and financial minds, who believe that the move is long overdue.
Prime Minister, Moses Nagamootoo in a brief interview, noted that the forensic audit into the GPHC will see an investigation into past procurement, expired drugs and those companies that are part of the “procurement gravy train including New GPC.”
This company is owned by Dr. Bobby Ramroop, who has close ties to former President Bharrat Jagdeo. Continue reading →

Former President Bharrat Jagdeo

June 22, 2015 | By KNews | Filed Under Editorial

Note: – Court case continues at the Whim Magistrate’s Court today – June 22, 2015.

The nation waits with baited breath as former President Bharrat Jagdeo and his phalanx of lawyers trek to the Whim Magistrates’ Court today to answer charges of alleged racism.

All eyes will be on the young and perhaps the most beautiful Magistrate, Charlyn Artiga, who gained prominence when she threatened to issue an arrest warrant for Mr. Jagdeo, who failed to attend court. It was a very bold decision by Ms. Artiga to discipline Mr. Jagdeo who had always felt that he was above the law. Continue reading →

Jagdeo must go if PPP is to revive- Clinton Urling

Clinton Urling

Sunday, 31 May 2015 07:58 -Written by Denis Scott Chabrol

People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPPC) candidate, Clinton Urling has blamed former President Bharrat Jagdeo for the party’s defeat at the polls earlier this month and said the time has come for him to take a back seat if the party is to be rebuilt.

Urling predicts that the PPP will face a difficult task in rebuilding itself if Jagdeo remains the de facto leader. “Moreover, it would be difficult to attract, and in my case retain, the type of people who can help reinvent the party. Plainly stated, the party has to move on without Jagdeo if it is to ever recapture its former political prestige,” said Urling. Continue reading →

Letter: The critical Muslim vote: Democracy, transparency and human rights in Guyana

Published on May 4, 2015- Reprinted from Caribbean News Now!

Dear Sir:

The recent election in Sri Lanka reflects how the Muslim minority bloc-vote was instrumental in deposing the autocratic government of President Mahinda Rajapaksa, who was accused of human rights abuses, including disregard for minorities, intimidation and suppression of the press, among other charges in that country.

Guyana’s former president Bharrat Jagdeo headed a Commonwealth Secretariat observer mission to monitor the electoral process in Sri Lanka to ensure that the process was conducted in a free and fair manner without threats from the sitting president or the armed forces. Continue reading →

Jagdeo at News Conference

Former President Bharrat Jagdeo on Thursday denied knowing convicted Guyanese drug lord, Roger Khan or being part of any death squad.

Speaking at a news conference at the headquarters of his incumbent People’s Progressive Party, Jagdeo broke his silence on the widely held view that he had been associated with Khan who is serving an extensive jail term in the United States for cocaine trafficking. “I never met Roger Khan,” he said.

“Roger Khan was never my friend. In fact, he was friendlier from my intelligence reports with some of the names I mentioned before,” he added.
