…exposes US-sanctioned Opposition Leader’s “political theatre”

Minister within the Office of the Prime Minister (PM) Kwame McCoy has pushed back against United States (US)-sanctioned Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed over his continued misinformation campaign about the Government’s development agenda, arguing that the businessman-turned-politician is attempting to deflect attention from his own legal troubles.

In a video message released on Tuesday, McCoy responded to Mohamed’s allegations of residents at Long Creek on the Soesdyke-Linden Highway being without electricity and potable water for years. McCoy described the claims as “one of the worst forms of mischaracterisation and misdirection” on the work being pursued by the Government on the highway corridor. He highlighted that while a significant portion of the area in question includes informal settlements, where persons are squatting on both private and state lands, the Government has not ignored them.
