As a court had found back in 2020 regarding a number of libel suits he had filed, another in December of last year also found that US-based Guyanese political commentator Rickford Burke had no evidence to support a libel suit he had filed in 2013 against then Press and Publicity Unit officer of the Office of the President Kwame Mc Coy.
In her ruling on December 16th last, Justice Fidela Corbin-Lincoln found that contrary to what the law specifically requires, Burke failed to plead the precise words complained and therefore failed to prove their publication.
He was ordered to pay McCoy costs in the sum of $100,000.
