Comparing Corbin with Alexander and Obama
Dear Editor,
It was with disgust that I read of Mr. Corbin’s utterances on Mr. Vincent Alexander’s resignation from the Local Government Task Force (SN 07.12.08).
Mr. Corbin, instead of thanking Mr. Alexander for his years of service to the party, and wishing him well, has resorted to wild, personal attacks.
Mr. Alexander has given eight years of service to the task force, on behalf of the PNCR, without any monetary benefits.
He has given a number of years to the PNC, serving in various capacities, without any monetary benefits.
How can Mr. Corbin now suggest that this man, who is one of the most knowledgeable persons in Guyana on Local Government, is only interested in serving when monetary rewards are given?
As a leader, Mr. Corbin has never been able to take the high ground and operate above the fray, and has continuously brought the office of leader of the party into disrepute. Mr. Alexander was able to show that, regardless of his political differences with Mr. Corbin, he was capable of putting that aside.
He recently attended a press conference with Mr. Corbin to discuss what was taking place in the Local Government Reform process, and continued to serve even after being vilified by the party.
We have seen the way President-elect Obama went about naming members of his Cabinet, selecting some of those who opposed him because he feels they are capable of making a contribution, and putting what is good for his country first. Mr. Corbin is a far cry from an Obama, but at least he can pretend.
It has been over six months now since a vacancy exists at GECOM due to the death of Commissioner Lloyd Joseph. Mr. Corbin, as Leader of the Opposition, has made no effort to have this vacancy filled. Now he is calling on Vincent Alexander to resign.
