Probe of allegation against Minister McCoy stalled

Kwame McCoy

It has been more than two weeks since Minister of Public Affairs Kwame McCoy was accused of assaulting APNU+AFC Member of Parliament (MP) Tabitha Sarabo-Halley and to date no progress has been reported in the investigation.

Last week, Stabroek News had reported that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) had advised the police that Speaker of the National Assembly, Manzoor Nadir should use the Standing Orders of Parliament to address the assault complaint made by Sarabo-Halley.

This newspaper was told that the recommendation was made by the DPP, who has since returned the case file in the matter to the police.
