Attorney-at-Law Nandlall clears air on meeting with Hinckson
- has no authority to make presentation on behalf of President
ATTORNEY-at-Law Anil Nandlall yesterday clarified what he called misleading information being peddled by ex-soldier, Oliver Hinckson, in relation to a meeting between the two gentlemen.
“I want to say categorically that I have never met with Mr. Hinckson for and behalf of the President or for and behalf of the PPP or the Government of Guyana. I have no authority to do so and I never met with him as an agent of any of those entities and or persons whom I name above.”
A statement purportedly signed by Hinckson was circulated yesterday to the media indicating that President Bharrat Jagdeo made arrangements for a top level People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) political functionary to meet and discuss matters related to Hinckson’s proposal for mediation.
Nandalall pointed out that even if he was approached by Hinckson to represent him, he will not.
“I met with him in my capacity as a private Attorney-at-Law in practice and we had certain discussions with which the ethics of my profession prevent me from disclosing…I have not been consulted and I have not been retained on those matters and I will not be appearing for him even if he attempts to retain me,” he said.
