As he had vowed unless issued an apology, co-founder of the International Decade for People of African Descent Assembly-Guyana (IDPADA-G), Vincent Alexander, has filed a more than $150 million suit against Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo, who he says has defamed him.
Alexander has said that Jagdeo, on a program-me aired by the Depart-ment of Public Information (DPI) on August 19th, falsely accused him of having a pecuniary interest in, and misusing IDPADA-G’s funds.
Alexander (the Claimant) is seeking damages in excess of $100,000,000 against Jagdeo who he said made the offensive and untruthful statement against him; and $50,000,000 against DPI for broadcasting it.
