– same offer goes to SN Editor-in-Chief
THE following is a statement issued late yesterday by Mr. Kwame McCoy, Information Liaison Officer to the President:
THE Stabroek News is so entrenched in ‘gutter journalism’ that it is using bitter, bias, anti-government critic Mark Benschop as its source for information.
The newspaper telephoned me today (yesterday) using Benschop’s valuation of $100 million for a property under construction by me in the new Diamond Housing Scheme. The newspaper asked a conclusive question, and I quote:  “Mr. McCoy, could you say where did you get G$100 million to build your house?”
It is interesting how Stabroek news has adopted Benschop as a credible source for information. This perhaps brings clarity to that newspaper’s continued bias, distorted and un-objective reporting.
May I use this opportunity to offer (Mr.) Anand Persaud, Editor-in-Chief of Stabroek news and Mark Benschop the Diamond property at a selling price of G$50 million. I anxiously await your response to my offer.
