US sanctions will not negatively affect Guyana’s anti-money laundering image – Nandlall

Anil Nandlall SC

Attorney General, Anil Nandlall SC, says that he does not believe that the United States’ sanctions on the Mohameds and Permanent Secretary Mae Toussaint Jr. Thomas, will have negative repercussions for Guyana’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) image.

And firing back at chartered accountant, Christopher Ram, who opined in yesterday’s Stabroek News that the US sanctions pose grave risks to the country and have shattered its anti-money laundering reputation, Nandlall said that Ram has not shown on what basis he came to his conclusions but instead has cast his own self-determined judgement.

“On what basis has Mr. Ram concluded this? I don’t think the world operates like that. His reaction is a knee-jerk one,” Nandlall said last evening in response to the Stabroek News after addressing the issue on his ‘Issues in the News’ programne on his Facebook Page.
