– says no Troy Tyrell at GINA
Office of the President (OP) Press and Publicity Officer Kwame McCoy has denied having any knowledge about the suspected leak of an official police bulletin last week.
Following several shock attacks by gunmen on Wednesday, a police bulletin for wanted man Kurt Thierens was released by way of an e-mail sent by Troy Tyrell.
Tyrell, the author of several letters published in the daily newspapers, had previously dispatched a note warning about how “opposition spin-doctors, propagandists, apologists and surrogates in the media” would seek to deceive about the attacks.
The bulletin was officially issued by the Government Information Agency (GINA) two hours later. When asked whether Tyrell was acting on behalf of the police force, Police Commissioner Henry Greene told reporters at a news conference that it had to be an error. He suggested that Tyrell “probably works for GINA,” explaining that information had only been released to the government agency. However, when informed by a GINA officer who was present at the news conference that there was no such employee, Greene was dumbfounded. He explained that whenever the police force deals with GINA, it does so through McCoy. “We would call him and provide the information to him and he would then get it and circulate it where he has to circulate it,” Greene said. He added, “We did give it to Kwame McCoy to send it out in the normal way.”
As a result, Greene advised reporters to inquire about Tyrell, adding that the police would do so too.
When contacted, McCoy reiterated that there was no Troy Tyrell working at GINA. Further, he explained that he had received the bulletin very early from the police force and had passed the information to GINA to disseminate. He said he had also previously received e-mails from Tyrell, whom he said seemed to be taking newspaper articles and sending them around. “The information given to me was dealt with and handled through GINA,” McCoy was adamant, adding that it was ultimate a non-issue. “The bottom line is a wanted bulletin was issued,” he said, adding that there should be no real interest in who sent it.
Stabroek News wrote to the e-mail address used by Tyrell, seeking contact information to verify the identity. In response, the author identifying himself as “Troy Anthony Tyrell” said he had never submitted a letter to any of the local dailies for publication. “However, [I] do circulate publications by others (and [I] do indicate this) as well as my opinion on matters in an attempt to enlighten in a similar manner to the entity you represent,” the response said. “I have noted also attempts to link my name to Kwame Mc Coy in what is seen by me as a clear attempt to discredit my efforts by those whose agenda run in contradiction to mines [sic],” it added. The response also questioned the focus on whether or not the bulletin was issued before a wanted bulletin is released by GINA, noting that “the fact of the matter is that its [sic] out as it needs to be.” No particulars were provided.
McCoy just denying everything these days…
Another ghost. Guyana is filled with phantoms.
Any primary school child can solve this puzzle. Is is clear as day Mc Coy is the real Mc Coy and Tyrell his alter-ego!
This Kwame Mc Coy needs to be investigated on ALL alleged misconduct by him and in the interim, he should not hold public office or act on the people’s behalf–period! He should be asked to step down from his post pending the outcome of his alleged sexual solicitation of a minor.
As for his alleged alter ego, lets’ get to the bottom of that right now with two questions. To whom did Commissioner Greene pass the information and who diseminated it to the public. Answer that and let’s laugh our faces off.
Isn’t this Mc Coy thing supposed to be suspended while allegations against it investigated? How can this thing still be in a position to receive information on behalf of the OP. Is this some kind of a joke?
hmmnn
As with almost everything falling like domines around this government, this one with Troy is another brick being removed from the pillar on which the government rests. I read letters written by Troy Tyrell and if it turns out that Kwame McCoy is pretending to be Troy Tyrell, he really needs to quit being OP PPO, because it exposes a deep seated contempt for readers who should rely with blind trust on government officials to tell them the truth. When officials hide behind fake names in letters, they are likely to hide the truth!
The propaganda artistes seem to have their wire crossed.
Ah Red rover we would like to ask that the President bring you back to Guyana so you can work closely with McKoy to ahhhh how do we say clean up this situation?
Oh Yes! Of course we believe you, Mr. Mckoy!
As a PPP member you are automatically assumed to be of impeccable morale fiber, beyond reproach and to possess unimpeachable credibility.
I am also the queen of England and have millions in my bank account.
Is it a surprise that the PPP uses Ghost Writers to disseminate propaganda?
Sure the independent media has competent IT specialists that can trace the emails to the IP address from which it originated.
Or is Guyana still in the dark ages of Information Technology?
Bismattie not to worry yourself, our IT guys are geniuses and tracking that IP would be a piece of cake for them.
We just have to sit back and wait for Mckoy’s response if and when exposed, and I am predicting it to be something like ……. “someone broke into my office a wrote that e-mail.”
Troy Tryrell is the same as kwame mccoy, his email address was traced to kwame’s address.
Amen,
Case closed Bismittie, here is your answer from our IT or IP

I agree with all of “Tyrell”’s warning note except for one word. I would substitute PPP for “opposition”.
