Former Executive Director of the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited, (NICIL), Winston Brassington has won a lawsuit against the Kaieteur News newspaper for defamatory statements it had published about him back in 2014 and he has been awarded $10 million in damages.
The award was made by High Court Judge Navindra Singh, who in a ruling yesterday said he found the offending statements to have been “clearly defamatory.”
Brassington is now head of the government’s gas-to-shore task force.
