Jagdeo says to sue Mr Su over VICE bribe-taking claims

A VICE News programme yesterday maintained that there were serious grounds for concern about inducements offered by Chinese companies here and Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo vowed to sue his tenant and businessman Su Zhirong for statements in the broadcast suggesting that he (Jagdeo) took bribes.

The programme titled ‘Guyana for Sale’ could influence the country’s image abroad given the wide reach of the Showtime channel it was aired on and therefore poses a problem for the government here. There was no statement from the government yesterday on it.

Jagdeo told Stabroek News yesterday that Su will have to immediately vacate the premises that he currently rents.
