Guyana will await notification from the United States government on its posture regarding investigations into businessmen Nazar ‘Shell’ Mohamed and his son, Azruddin, but dismissed claims that the duo had influenced any of its business decisions or contract awards.
“As the Reuters story said, there has been no official, the Government of Guyana has not been officially informed of any investigations into the Mohameds or what the charges are or what the allegations are at this stage; no official notification,” Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday told a press conference.
“Secondly, I have noticed in the same story that when asked for a comment, every US agency declined to comment on the story. So the Government of Guyana will act on this matter when the US engages it officially, if it engages the Government of Guyana. Right now, we have a story in Reuters with some allegations.
