Information Liaison to the President, Kwame McCoy, on Saturday said that an audio recording of a conversation between two males, one of whom it has been alleged is him, is “clearly a fabrication aimed solely at smearing my character and family name.”
According to a statement issued by McCoy, since his appointment to the Rights of the Child Commission he has been reliably informed that there was a “certain group of persons out to get me at all cost[s] and I was warned to be careful.”
“As recent as today [Saturday], someone attempted to impersonate me by contacting the Kaieteur News pretending to be Kwame McCoy and stated that I had tendered my resignation from the Office of the President as well as the Rights Commission based on the release of this recording,” the statement said.
McCoy said that he had been in contact with his attorneys and would take legal action against “any one or media house that seek[s] to publish the recording and or any story that is being derived from same.”
