Are there more McCoys in OP?

Jan 20, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
The SN of Sunday 18, 2009 reports Office of the President spokesman Mr. Kwame Mc Coy as declining to say whether Parliament had received the report by the Auditor General into bribery allegations at the Customs and Trade Administration.
Those allegations centered on Fidelity Investments and involved the falsification of customs documents.
Mr. McCoy added that the report would be tabled in due course, adding that “there are other pressing things before the house”, suggesting that “the Auditor General’s report would likely have to wait in line.”
Does the Office of the President (OP) rather than the Speaker and the Clerk of the National Assembly decide whether it has other pressing matters and does it believe that the Assembly works like a taxi rank where you have to join a queue?
Mr. McCoy should reserve such crass absurdity for his television show rather than try to insult the intelligence of the more right thinking Guyanese.
It makes me angry to think that my hard-earned tax dollars are used to pay people of McCoy’s calibre and makes me wonder how many more McCoys reside in the Office of the President.
