CONTRARY to “misinformation” being peddled on social media, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carl Greenidge, has made it clear that he was never arrested and charged for having drugs in his possession in the United States of America (USA) or anywhere else. In a short statement issued last evening, Minister Greenidge said that reports were carried on popular social media site – Facebook – on Thursday, which suggested that he was arrested and charged for having drugs in his possession.
However, the Foreign Affairs Minister dismissed the “Facebook story” and described it as being “malicious and apparently politically motivated.”
When the post appeared on Facebook, Minister Greenidge was on his way back from attending a meeting in Uzbekistan.
The minister is due to leave Georgetown on Sunday for an official visit to Chile as part of President Granger’s team.
