Dear Editor,
As counsel for Aeshwar Deonarine, Deputy Chief Executive Officer GPL, I shall be grateful if you can publish the following which is in connection with the article in your last Sunday Stabroek at page 10 under the caption ‘Deputy GPL CEO should face charge over $27.8M transfer, Ramjattan says.’
First of all, I refer you to the front page of the Kaieteur News of Wed-nesday the 11th day of November, 2015.
It ‘screams’ ‘Government makes no effort to recover $27M from former GPL Deputy Chief Executive Officer-DPP has no such file.’
One has to assume that your article in Sunday Stabroek is accurate and that the caption of the Kaieteur News of the 11th day of November, 2015 is correct.
If they are both correct it is clear that Mr Khemraj Ramjattan did not verify that a file was sent to the DPP. He should have ascertained that before he made such a public statement.
It seems that several persons and entities have committed libel against my client and he is being advised on the way forward.
In the interim my client wishes it to be known that he did not commit any offence or wrongdoing.
Documentary evidence is in the possession of both GPL and my client which would establish that my client was entitled to the sum received by him from GPL.
Yours faithfully,
M Bacchus
Attorney-at-Law
