GINA ISSUES PRESS PASS WITH INTERNET IMAGE FOR EDITOR

The Press pass issued by GINA

The saga of media personnel being refused from Office of the President continued yesterday with Kwame McCoy overruling an order to the security, by Dr Roger Luncheon, to permit entry to all reporters at the gate and who were seeking entry.


McCoy is insisting that reporters should only be admitted if they possess a press pass issued by the Guyana Information Agency (GINA).

Recent weeks have seen the Security at OP denying entry to reporters, including BBC correspondent Colin Smith, who is without a GINA pass.

The Press pass on the left was issued to Editor-in-Chief of the Kaiteur News recently. The internet shopped photo does not bear any rememblance to the Editor. Adding my voice to this, i think this is disrespectful for a veteran in the media to be disrespected in such a way.
