Hundreds of people showed up at the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) headquarters on Robb Street, saying they were told small business cash grants were being handed out, but Minister within the Office of the Prime Minister, Kwame McCoy denied any such distribution.
According to McCoy the people were duped by agents working on behalf of the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) party.
“What is occurring here this morning really reflects what is happening within communities by the APNU/AFC operatives [who] have been spreading a rumour in many of the communities that monies are being shared at Freedom House, that people should come down here today to collect monies… as recent as last night, there have been people in South Georgetown who have been spreading this rumour,” he said.
