The Government of Guyana (GoG) yesterday said that it was informed that Rickford Burke, a Guyanese residing in Brooklyn, New York, lodged a formal complaint with a Department within the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) alleging that the GoG is persecuting him among other things and it said it has also written the US State Department and the FBI refuting the claims against it.
In a statement, the government said it is pleased that Burke has engaged the law enforcement agencies in the United States on this matter as the same has received the attention of the law enforcement agencies in Guyana and the matter is currently before courts here.
