State Asset Recovery Agency (SARA) Special Assistant, Eric Phillips, earlier this week, claimed that properties belonging to the State were willed to the children of officials of the past former People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C) administration.
However, he declined to provide names. During his Thursday (June 6, 2019) news conference, Opposition Leader, Bharrat Jagdeo, challenged Phillips to release the details.
“They have not been ashamed to publish out names in the past…let them publish the names now. It would be great to do this. If they believe in transparency, let them publish. We are urging them to do this,” he said.
Phillips also said that this was found in several instances in almost all the regions.
