The PNC is impotent under Corbin’s leadership

Jan 10, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
Supporters of the PNC need be more worried than comforted by Mr. Robert Corbin’s new interest in shared governance.
Amidst the clamouring for him to go, this is a cunning ditch to hold onto office. Under Corbin the PNC is at its most impotent. Corbin has demolished the party, brick by brick, block by block. Upon completion of every mission he sits back and watches his surrogates put up valiant fights knowing the battle will be lost because he has already immobilized them.
Corbin is not serious about shared governance when he instigated the departures of James Mc Allister and Vincent Alexander, the party’s shared governance architects. Basil Williams, shadow Labour Minister, will not get the PPP to discard the Trade Union Recognition Bill.
The Bill will pass because Corbin personally took the Guyana Labour Union into FITUG and cemented the deal for the PPP to argue FITUG has the most representative workers. Corbin gave the PPP the most important portfolios in the Region Four Democratic Council and was going to do the same in Region Seven.
The PPP has not returned the favour in the regions they have won. The party plans a retreat early this year. Retreat goers should scrutinise Corbin’s performance. The PNC has 25 seats in Parliament; look and see how representatives of these seats are in relation to the 10 regions. Power concedes nothing without a fight. To get shared governance, prevent the Trade Union Recognition Bill from passing, and make the PPP responsible. You have to negotiate from positions of strength. Corbin has effectively nullified that strength. Come on, people, let Corbin go. Save the party from Corbin and Corbin from himself; don’t be fooled away.
