The mounting accusations about Chinese nationals here in Guyana being part of elaborate money laundering and bribery schemes in exchange for investment opportunities “should be investigated by security agencies”, President Irfaan Ali said yesterday.
The Head of State, while responding to questions from this newspaper, said the admissions from persons in VICE News broadcasts requires “some” investigations as his government has zero tolerance for such activities.
“What is clear, there are some people there who are saying they are involved in such activities… if you look at the video and that definitely requires an investigation… And I’m hoping… the relevant security and relevant agencies are looking at this because it is clear that someone says they are involved,” Ali said when asked if he had any concerns over the revelations in the docu-series. Ali was at the time responding to questions on the sidelines of the opening ceremony of the National Toshaos Conference at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre yesterday.
