Co-founder of the International Decade for People of African Descent Assembly-Guyana (IDPADA-G), Vincent Alexander, is demanding a public apology from Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo who he says has falsely accused him of having a pecuniary interest in, and misusing the organization’s funds.
In a letter prepared by his attorney Eusi Anderson, signalling his intention to sue if Jagdeo does not apologize by this coming Saturday – September 3rd – Alexander is also demanding payment to the tune of $50 million as compensation for which he said is the restoration of his name.
According to Alexander, the Vice President among other things, maliciously defamed his character by stating that a mere $343,000 was spent on grants in 2020; though government had given the company a total of $100 million for the purpose of grants that year.
