Minister Ali has denounced the sensational front page story in the Kaieteur News, captioned ‘After two years as Minister… Irfaan Ali builds mansion with pool house’, on January 1, 2012.
Minister Ali pointed out that the “wicked, devious and sensational” report by the Kaieteur News is nothing more than a personal attack which has now left him and his family exposed to security and other threats.
It is on this basis that Minister Ali has sought legal action against Kaieteur News.

If Kaieteur news has a good lawyer then they can get Mr. Ali to open up his complete finances including how much he was paid by the CDB when he was an employee. An experienced forensic accounting team can get to the bottom of this issue.

The judge is scared to die by the hands of a mysterious assassin. But the truth will come out in court. Irfaan has enemies who he has taken for a ride. Jagdeo ain't there to silence them, and Ramotar doesn't want to be tainted by any fall out from Irfaan's newly found wealth.

You are painting jagdeo as a bad guy.

Very soon you will be saying that jagdeo was the good as you now are saying that Burnham was a saint..

Have you got your hands in the cookie jar as well ? The fact that he is suing is not because he is denying the claims, but because he is saying his family is left open to security and other threats. At no stage has Irfaan denied that the mansion was built using money from legal gains.

Kaieteur is doing this thing backwards. They should have done their homework first before making the claim of ill gotten gains and corruption. Now they have to scramble to backup a claim made without basis.
