Granger files $2 Billion lawsuit against Kit Nascimento and three daily newspapers

Former President David Granger has filed a more than $2 Billion lawsuit against Public Communications Specialist Kit Nascimento, Stabroek News, Kaieteur News and the Guyana Times newspapers.

The lawsuit is in response to statements that were contained in various letters written by Nascimento and published in the three newspapers last year just after the elections.

Through his Attorney, Senior Counsel Roysdale Forde, the former President is contending that the published letters which were written by Kit Nascimento contained statements that were libelous against him and which sought to impugn his character.

The letters were written and published over a period of time and attacked Mr. Granger’s handling of the issues surrounding the 2020 elections and the aftermath. Granger was President at the time.

Among the reliefs being sought are a retraction and apology, a number of injunctions against the republishing of the letters or repeating the statements made in them and the permanent removal of the offending letters from the online edition of the newspapers.

In the lawsuit, Mr. Granger contends that the publication of the letters  was intended to and calculated  to  affect him  as a  Politician and a leader in the community and country with  a  view  of  lowering  him   in  the estimation of right thinking persons in the news.

He also points out in the claim that throughout the electoral process, he made it clear that he will abide by the declaration handed down on the elections by the Chairman of the Elections Commission and he did just that when the final declaration was made.
