Whopping $20B in evaded taxes in jeopardy

… as Govt ignores Opposition’s offer to assist in recovery

The David Granger-led Administration is still to respond to the offer made by former President and Leader of the

Opposition People’s Progressive party/Civic (PPP/C) Bharrat Jagdeo to have former Attorney General Anil Nandlall assist Attorney General Basil Williams in several tax evasion cases that are pending and which, if successful, will rake in some $20 billion to the public coffers.
Jagdeo, during his first meeting with President David Granger and a ministerial delegation from the A Partnership for National Unity+Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) coalition on August 31 at the Ministry of the Presidency, had offered to have the former Attorney General lend his institutional memory, to assist in the process.
During the meeting with current Attorney General Basil Williams, the Opposition Leader raised issues about files missing from the Attorney General’s Chambers. “He (Williams) said that he does not have the files and Anil Nandlall – the former Attorney General – has

publicly stated more than once that all the files that are necessary for all the cases are in the office or the institutional knowledge is there. He did not take a single document away,” the Opposition Leader declared.
Moreover, Jagdeo outlined that in order to ensure that the State is successful in the pending tax cases so that they can recover in as much as they can, the Opposition is willing to have Nandlall lend his “institutional memory” to the AG Williams.
“We will share all of the institutional memory that we have about those tax cases because we don’t the Government to lose those tax cases based on bad legal representation because it will cause the treasury billions of dollars and us as tax payers – people of this country. We want to share things with them, we want to work with them on this,” he outlined.
Jagdeo said that he informed those present at the meeting that there are billions of dollars in liabilities to the State tied up in just a few cases in court. He further disclosed that there are about 10 such cases he is knowledgeable about, with a whopping $20 billion outstanding in taxes that can be put into the treasury and directed toward developing the country.
According to the Opposition Leader, this move is reflective of the PPP/C’s approach in dealing with the APNU/AFC Administration. He pointed out that they will not be seeking to block everything or anything that comes on the agenda because they were brought by the Government.
“We will take a different approach from the one that they took when they had control of the Parliament. They sought to block everything – the Money Laundering Bill, the Amaila (Falls Hydro Project), (Specialty) Hospital or the Airport Project,” he said.
Jagdeo pointed out that the PPP/C Opposition will be supporting things that are national and will seek to benefit the people of Guyana. “We hold them (coalition) to the promises that they made to the population and we will vigorously oppose things that we thing are bad for Guyana,” he added.
One observer pointed out that it is not fair that hundreds of thousands of ordinary citizens with meagre incomes above the threshold level have to pay their taxes when these evidently giant corporations are allowed to evade such gargantuan amounts of taxes. (alexisr@guyanatimesgy.com)

 

 

 

The incompetent PNC should seek every assistance they are offered.  BJ is behaving like a true patriot, a concept alien to the PNC dead-enders.

If anyone seriously holds the belief that the PPP is honest in its offer, then that person must be in cahoot with the PPP on this. You don't let thiefman help you in catching friends of his in the same business. The PPP would be playing cat and mouse with the police. Jagdeo has some scores to settle with other members within the PPP. He would be calling out their names first. Remember this is a man who knows who murdered Sawh. And Sawh stood in the way of Roger Khan, who was a good friend of Jagdeo. My bet is that jagdeo would finger Alexei Ramotar quite quickly.

Well, call their bluff and expose their fallacy, what's to lose?  It's very plausible money changed hands with these PNC bais and the tax evaders to hijack files and remove the evidence. Those PNC bais could not wait to get their hands in the cookie jar!

The coalition government is ashamed to take up Dr. Jagdeo offer and advise. The state of Guyana's economy is failing, yet they wouldn't take Gaskin's advise that the PPP supported.
Granger can never run a successful country surrounded by incompetent ministers.

Jagdeo is  spent entity who has shown great incompetence as president. He opposed the installation of additional tax modules in the software that could have done the job. He also opposed the offer of the UK too train officers and set up a system to combat corruption in the police and ministries. So Jagdeo has no credibility in the area of taxes.

You would be surprised, a lot of people listening to him.  Many PNC supporters don't want a repeat of the old PNC era and are listening to BJ and the opposition.  He is coming across more statesman-like than you think.

Can someone explain to me how does someone who's party ran a country over 20 years and all this time there were tax evaders....they did nothing.

Suddenly..oh yeahhhhhh....suddenly BJ wants to assist in catching those who evade taxes.

What gives?

 

BJ should do the best thing for the country,wait for when his name is called to stand before a judge but before that he should piss off and shut up,

It would be foolish not to accept Mr. Jagdeo's offer. It's not putting a thief to catch thieves as the the honorable professor suggested. The gentleman's expertise can be a valuable asset to the failing government and save them from excess spending. The coalition ego is too big with little ideas to spare.

Read and understand banna, these matters are/were in court.  That's the rule of law.

Whopping $20B in evaded taxes in jeopardy, September 12, 2015 By , … as Govt ignores Opposition’s offer to assist in recovery

Perhaps, the government has reasons why not to pursue the process to recover the outstanding monies.

FM

The Government is probably aware Jagdeo would try and shaft them by showing where a few $$$ could be found ( he'll point to those he's got problems with) meanwhile the majority of missing $$$$ is being held by his cronies.
