Former city mayor Ubraj Narine has filed a $200 million libel suit against the state-owned Guyana Chronicle, which he says has defamed him through a number of untrue articles it published.
And he said that while the Chronicle issued an apology in relation to one of the offending articles he complains of, his contention is that that apology “was neither full and or appropriate.”
In his suit against the newspaper and its now former Editor-in-Chief Tajeram Mohabir, Narine says that in August of this year, articles were published attacking his competence and falsely accusing him of encouraging breached contracts.
