The following statement, published in its entirety and unedited, was issued by Permanent Secretary of the Local Government Ministry Collin Croal:“I, Collin Croal,Cheap Jerseys NFL China, a candidate of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) condemn articles appearing in Kaieteur News Wednesday’s edition dated April 15,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, 2015 headlined “Permanent Secretary at center of missing teen report in North West” and Thursday’s edition dated April 16,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, 2015 headlined “Mom insists PS influences daughter delinquent behavior.”I wish to categorically deny the allegations of myself and the Progressive Youth Organisation (PYO) members participating in or encouraging underage persons to consume alcohol at any of its activities. Further,Cheap NFL jerseys China, in so as the particular “teen is concerned” where it was alleged of my involvement with her, at no time was I personally involved with her. I have not been in the Mabaruma sub-Region since Monday morning having left in the company of Minister Carolyn Rodrigues for another sub-Region to continue my political work and not Tuesday as stated in today’s edition.My involvement is with the PYO–Mabaruma through their steering committee and not the individual members. I have remained quiet for the past 24 hours,Cheap Jerseys China, however, despite there being a statement issued by the PYO–Mabaruma and an iNews article quoting comments by the teenager in question, her sister and her father which showed that what is being peddled by Kaieteur News is far from the truth.This is an attempt by the opposition aided by Kaieteur News to besmirch my character,Wholesale Jerseys 2017, disrupt the gains and work of the PPP and detraction for the apparent lack of support for the opposition in the Region.The targeting of the PPP/C through the PYO members does not go unnoticed. It is a continuation of the smear campaign by the Opposition aided and abetted by Kaieteur News especially targeting a number of prominent political persons.Kaieteur News has refused to carry the PYO-Mabaruma statement in its entirety and has failed to contact me or even correct their false story, but continued with its political associated message. The PPP/C and PYO should not be seen as a football field for a family that has divided political loyalty.”
