The Guyana Energy Agency (GEA) in a statement last evening sought to clarify that a warrant issued for the arrest of petroleum dealer Dorwain Bess was withdrawn after the defendant presented himself to the Court as is normal in such cases.
“The recalling of warrants where defendants present themselves is a usual practice and ought not to be presented as an act of malice or impropriety on the part of the Complainant or the Court,” the statement maintained.
A report in Kaieteur News yesterday on the warrant’s recall suggested that it was improperly issued since Bess had not been properly served with the GEA complaint against his company, SBF International Inc.
