Bholan Boodhoo
Alliance for Change (AFC) Economist Bholan Boodhoo was killed this morning in an accident while taking his usual jog along the JD Singh Road, in the vicinity of Camp Ayanganna, Georgetown. Boodhoo was a central figure in crafting his party's position on matters pertaining to the economy. He was said to have been struck by a minibus.
The incident took place mere hours after the AFC joined the PNC'S APNU in voting against the anti-money laundering bill. Guyana's failure to pass the bill before a November deadline will result in sanctions by the international community which could hamper the continued development of our economy.
