In the aftermath of stunning bribery allegations put to him on February 1st by US-based media outlet, VICE News, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday said that the man who it was claimed had made them has denied this.
Following a day of widespread speculation about the allegations which were reported in yesterday’s Stabroek News based on footage of the interview posted on Jagdeo’s Facebook page, the Vice President held a press conference to again reject the bribery claims.
He also cast the claims as an attempt to place him and Guyana at the centre of a China and US power feud.
