Corbin calls on Jagdeo to release footage of Buxton criminals and politicians

Jan 16, 2011 News

Leader of the Parliamentary Opposition Robert Corbin says that he is glad to hear that President Bharrat Jagdeo is on record saying that there was an opinion sought at the level of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) as it relates to extending his time in Office.
Corbin further stated in response to Jagdeo’s statement that he, Corbin, must provide his sources that he sought legal opinions on extending his stay in office or lose his credibility, that the President has repeatedly said he has tapes of political opposition leaders meeting with criminals but he is yet to provide the evidence.
According to Corbin, if the President wants to be taken seriously then he should provide those tapes.
In response to Jagdeo’s statement that he was not interested in a third term, the Opposition leader reiterated that he never made mention of a third term. Rather, he spoke of the President seeking to extend his time in office.
The Opposition leader is sticking to his story that President Jagdeo has sought at least three legal opinions on extending his term in office and outside of the GECOM one which is now public knowledge he would not identify his other two sources given that he did not want to compromise his colleagues.
Following the killing of Rondell ‘Fineman’ Rawlins and several other high profile criminals purportedly part of ‘Buxton’ several politicians have called for the release of the video footage which the President has repeatedly mentioned but two years later and the footage is yet to be released or used in court as evidence against any criminal or politician.
Jagdeo recently challenged Corbin to identify the legal advisors whom he purportedly sought assistance in finding out how to extend his stay in Office.
Jagdeo said that Corbin must do this if he wants people to accept this as credible. According to President Jagdeo, Corbin must identify from whom, when and where the advice was sought.
The President pointed to his New Year’s address to the nation in which he said that there will be elections this year. The President posited that Corbin was just seeking political attention at a time when he has ceded the right to be his party’s Presidential Candidate and was seeking to boost his almost dead political popularity.
