Hgp Nightly News Reports | Minister within the Office of the Prime Minister, Kwame McKoy, faces serious allegations of sexual misconduct and intimidation following a formal complaint submitted to Speaker Manzoor Nadir by Opposition Chief Whip Tabitha Sarabo-Halley.
The complaint details an alleged incident that transpired on February 3, 2026, within the precincts of Parliament, in which Minister McKoy is accused of directing a sexually inappropriate remark toward WIN Member of Parliament Toshana Famey-Corlette. This remark has been characterized as sexual harassment of the most egregious nature.
Additionally, the letter alleges that Minister McKoy threatened WIN MP Deon LaCruz, reportedly pointing in his face and issuing words interpreted as a personal retaliation warning. Such behavior has been described as intimidating, menacing, and unbecoming of a sitting parliamentarian, particularly one serving in the Executive.
Sarabo-Halley emphasized that these alleged actions undermine the integrity of Parliament, compromise the safety of its members, and erode public confidence in the institutional framework. She has called for the matter to be formally recorded in parliamentary proceedings, thoroughly investigated following Standing Orders and relevant codes of conduct, and addressed decisively to ensure that Parliament remains a space free from harassment, threats, and intimidation—especially for women.
The complaint has been flagged for urgent attention, placing the Speaker and the National Assembly under renewed scrutiny amid increasing demands for accountability, transparency, and adherence to high standards of conduct within governance. As the situation develops, the focus remains on ensuring the integrity and safety of the parliamentary environment.
