McCoy should examine the corridors of the PPP political archives

Aug 22, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
Kwame McCoy’s over indulgence in polemics is definitely not suited for public discourse, but rather for the cesspit of the city’s outdated and overworked sewerage system.
Wherein, the individual, in his official capacity as the President’s Press Officer took umbrage at Kaieteur News columnist, Freddie Kissoon’s article captioned: “Ten years of Jagdeo: Faustian Journey.”
Kissoon wrote: “Burnham would have never tolerated a Kwame McCoy as his spokesperson. Burnham would have consigned McCoy to a platoon in a National Service on a Monkey Mountain”.
Now! Monkey Mountain! Of all places, does McCoy know that this area rich in gold, with an assayed production level rising up to 96%, is located in Region # 8? And the late President C. B. Jagan, while serving as Premier, had appointed the late Barney Johnson, a former PPP political activist, headmaster, of the primary school of the Monkey Mountain. If McCoy in his capacity as the President’s Spokesperson/Press Officer can interpret Kissoon’s statement as having a racial connotation, that should be investigated by the Ethnic Relations Commission. Then, Heaven help us all! Rather, the ERC should recommend that McCoy be examined by a psychiatrist, towards ensuring his mental faculty is in order, in addition to assigning him to grade 6 at the Primary Level in Geography.
