This reporter has spoken to two men from Queenstown who indicated they along with 15 others were paid by the PPP’s known thug Kwame McKoy to intermingle with the legitimate protestors at Agricola but disrupt the operation by committing violent acts against innocent citizens so that NCN would have something newsworthy to report to deflect the outrage brewing in the country over Roger Luncheon’s earlier utterances that the government was prepared to “rumble” against demands for Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee to step down.

This explosive report was made by the young man who claimed they were paid 50,000 Guyana dollars each to go to agricola and create mayhem. The 2 operatives when asked why they complied in such deceit said they needed the money “tings rough”.

The neighborhood where these individuals were residing was in one of the less desirable areas in Queenstown. Asked specifically what acts the committed and against whom the lads declined to divulge more details for fear of retribution from the PPP. They stated that the PPP had operatives leading them who were also giving them instructions on the ground what to do.

When pressed why the PPP was going to hire persons to do such a thing they explained that the government badly needed a positive story against the backdrop of the murders of innocent young black boys in Guyana as a result they could not have gone on television and just announce that protests erupted in Linden.

These actions mirror the events in linden where residents there vehemently denied they were involved in any attacks of persons in the area and in linden they were much more organized to prevent infiltration by the PPP. Agricola being much closer to the city and to the operatives of the PPP and the nature of the area is very open so it is extremely easy to seed unknown persons into the protest because the situation is very fluid and covers a vast area. It was also noted by several persons we interviewed in Agrocola today who claimed during the initial hours of the protests in Agricola things were quite orderly and on some of the video seen by this reporter and retrieved from residents it clearly shows that persons were not afraid walking past burning debris on the road between 4:00 and 5:30 PM.

The mayhem seems to have been tied in with the exact time that NCN went on air to report incidents of violence in Agricola as a matter of fact when we reviewed the footage from NCN it reflected similarly the footage showed persons walking across the carriageway in a very nonchalant manner and that clip kept being replayed over and over on NCN because there seemed to be nothing else to show.

We asked our confidential informants if they were told or whether it was discussed who was behind these attacks and the response was yes Dr. Luncheon, Gail Texiera and Anil Nandalall met with Kwame at office of the President and they quickly hatched the plan and President Ramotar assented to the action.

We will continue to follow this story as it develops and we will be contacting the AFC and APNU if they qre available for their response, attempts to reach the AFC and APNU so far have been futile.
