Corbin set to resume party leadership next week – Clarke
PNCR Leader, Robert Corbin
Leader of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR), Robert Corbin, is set to return to Guyana next week and will resume full control of the party when he does.
General Secretary, Oscar Clarke, made this disclosure yesterday in an invited comment. He said that Corbin has recovered well from the operation he underwent just over one week ago and his doctors have expressed satisfaction at his current condition.
“He is better now and his doctors have cleared him so he will be able to travel home next week,” Clarke told this newspaper yesterday.
He added that upon his return, the party leader would take back the reins of the party, which are currently being controlled by party chairpersons, Basil Williams and Volda Lawrence.
Clarke however speculated that upon his return the Opposition Leader is likely to facilitate any questions about his experience. Corbin underwent a successful operation last week at a Long Island, New York, medical facility for an undisclosed diagnosis.
However Clarke during a recent press conference disclosed that the facility where the opposition leader was attended to deals with medical issues related to radiology.
According to Clarke, Corbin was discharged from a Heart Centre at which he was initially admitted but was re-admitted to the facility that does not deal with the heart.
On Saturday April 25, Corbin was admitted to the Woodlands Hospital after feeling unwell, which was characterised by pains in his chest.
The following day he was transferred to the Caribbean Heart Institute but was medivacced to the United States on Monday April 27 at the expense of the government.
Corbin was initially hospitalised at the Heart Centre, St. Francis Hospital, Long Island, where he underwent tests, evaluation and medical procedures, including angiography, which according to reports, ruled out any heart complications.
Following his discharge, Mr. Corbin was subjected to a series of other medical tests and evaluation and subsequently underwent the surgery.
