APNU+AFC renews call for Jagdeo to step down pending bribery probe

The Opposition APNU+AFC is reiterating its call for the government to ask Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo to step down and make way for an independent investigation into the allegations of bribery made by Chinese businessman, Su Zhirong and aired in a Vice News expose back in June.

The latest call came following a September 19 report in the Stabroek News which informed that President Irfaan Ali is still of the view that, despite the allegations, the international perception of Guyana has not changed and its image has not taken a hit by the actions of a man he described as a carpetbagger.

At its weekly press conference, the Opposition responded directly to the contents of the article.
