Reporter claims Rickford Burke does ‘uploads’ to slanderous Online entity
Local Journalist Gary Eleazar, who is under arrest in relation to an extortion case, reportedly told investigators here on Sunday that he
was contacted by one Dorwain Bess, who told him that a businessman was evading taxes on imported vehicles, and he subsequently wrote
an article on the matter. The said article was then sent to Bess, also a businessman, who then sent it to US-based social media commenta-
tor, Rickford Burke, who added several paragraphs to it before posting it on the Guyana News Network Facebook page and website,
Eleazar said. “Notably, he also said that he had access to the GNN website for over a year, and was given its password and
username by Burke to manage it, and subsequently uploaded about five articles to the site,” a release claimed. See story on page 10
