on the way forward with regards to the allegations brought against Attorney General Anil Nandlall by publisher of the Kaieteur News Glenn Lall.
Yesterday, senior police officials, including Divisional Commander Clifton Hicken and Crime Chief Leslie James, confirmed that the file on the matter has finally been completed and it was expected to reach the DPP’s office by today.
It’s been more than three weeks since the Kaieteur News Publisher filed a complaint with the police alleging that the Attorney General had knowledge of a plan to attack the newspaper offices on Saffon Street.
The Attorney General, in a recorded conversation with Senior Reporter Leonard Gildarie, a few weeks ago, hinted at a plot to attack the Kaieteur News in retaliation to the newspaper’s exposure of corrupt activities by persons close to the ruling administration.
In the conversation with the Kaieteur News senior reporter, Nandlall told Gildarie that Kaieteur News had become a very dangerous place and that he should leave to avoid being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Initially the police appeared to have been stalling the investigations into the matter and this approach was criticized by certain sections of society, which accused them of abandoning all pretence of impartiality and neutrality.
Lall in an invited comment said that he is surprised that such a straightforward issue would take such a long time.
“Right now I am beginning to lose faith in our police force and that is sad,” Lall stated.
