McCoy has denied the allegation, but the young boy has admitted to his mother, whom Kaieteur News spoke with, that he did indeed have the conversation with McCoy.President Jagdeo yesterday told reporters that he asked the Police to investigate the matter, because he believed the allegation against McCoy was serious enough.However, the President said that based on a briefing he received from the Commissioner of Police, the only person to give a statement to the Police is McCoy. Jagdeo said that Mark Benschop, who seems to be an advocate on the matter,Jerseys From China, has refused to give a statement to the Police.Benschop said that the police never approached him for a statement. He said that they were more concerned about interrogating him about some report by McCoy that he was impersonated.He said that he told them that he was willing to co-operate but to date there has been no approach by the police for co-operation.Also, Jagdeo said that the Police have been unable to contact the 15-year-old boy in question. However, when this Police report was submitted to the DPP, Shalimar Ali-Hack, she advised the Police to find the boy, Jagdeo said.McCoy is currently on two-week voluntary leave,Jerseys NFL China, according to the Head of State. Regarding the effect of the allegations on McCoy’s seat as a Commissioner on the Rights of the Child Commission,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, Jagdeo would only go as far as saying that he followed a fair process of having the matter fully investigated by the Police.“I would not have done this…if I didn’t think the allegations were serious,” Jagdeo said.McCoy’s fellow Commissioner, Vidyaratha Kissoon,Cheap Jerseys From China, has publicly said that the constitution allows for the Speaker of the National Assembly to ask the President to convene a tribunal to investigate allegations against McCoy and suggested McCoy recuse himself from the Commission until the time the tribunal makes its findings known.Jagdeo yesterday said the Commissioners are free to say what they want, as Guyana is a free country. He however said that the Police Force is the authority to investigate such matters.The Rights of the Child Commission is a constitutional body that is mandated to report directly to the National Assembly. Since the members of the Commission were sworn in on May 8, no meeting has been called to elect a chairperson,Cheap NFL Jerseys, and as such the Commission is currently now not functioning.A further bugbear is the fact that the constitution stipulates that the Secretariat for the Human Rights Commission will serve as the secretariat for the Rights of the Child, Indigenous, and the Gender Equality Commissions, but there is no Human Rights Commission as yet.Kissoon is the first Commissioner to go public about the allegations surrounding McCoy, even though he says he has not heard the tape and has no interest in listening to it, since he cannot make a judgement as to whether the person on the tape is indeed that of McCoy.Kissoon is a well know civil society activist and has been joining a protest in front of the Office of the President for the last four months to raise awareness about the abuse of children.Writing on his blog, Kissoon said: “The Constitution suggests that the Speaker of the National Assembly, who is the prescribed authority (Article 212 Y (4) ), can request of the President that the removal of the officer be investigated, following which a tribunal is established from within the Judicial Services Commission who could then investigate and make a recommendation.
