A lawyer for President Bharat Jagdeo yesterday said that the recent sale of the head of state’s Goedverwagting, East Coast Demerara property for $120M, was done in a transparent manner.
According to Attorney-at-law, Anil Nandlall, in a statement in which he disclosed that he was the President’s lawyer, the agreement of sale was executed on May 31 with the price set at US$600,000.
The imposing edifice, located east of the Ogle Airport Road, was sold to Desmond ‘Ernie’ Ross, whose address was given as 129 Park Avenue, West Moorings, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.
