– says Washington willing to cooperate
Following complaints to the US State Department and Department of Justice (DOJ) about New York-based critic Rickford Burke, the Guyana Government on Tuesday said that Washington expressed willingness to cooperate and it has further retained a law firm to fight its case against Burke.
“Through the ambassador, they have expressed their willingness to cooperate and we have retained a law firm in the US that will be pursuing the matters from Washington,” Attorney General Anil Nandlall told Stabroek News.
He said that while the letters were filed in July, retaining the law firm took some time as they had to “settle” the works to be had but that they “ought to commence shortly”.
