Mervin exposed as deliberately lying on Corbin and PNCR

Jan 27, 2011 Letters

Dear Editor,
Note is taken of Emile Mervin’s letter “Mr Corbin was lacking in some aspects of opposition” Kaieteur News, 26/1/2011.
Since Mervin failed to provide any evidence to support his claims about Mr. Robert Corbin’s “generous retirement package”, “secret talks” and “third term deal,” of which same were exposed as lies, he is now trying to shift the arguments to other issues which continue to expose his dislike for the truth when it comes to the PNCR and/or Mr. Corbin.
Until such time Mervin withdraws his lies against Mr. Corbin he will not be seen as a credible contributor to political discourse in the letter columns.
If Mervin cannot provide the evidence to justify his allegations against Mr. Corbin that started this discussion the he needs to be a man and say so.
Mervin will not be allowed to escape his lies by shifting to other issues. Mervin is exposed as deliberately lying on Corbin and PNCR.
Having failed to provide credible counter-evidence to debunk his exposed lies Mervin argues, “I had asked the Opposition Leader for evidence to back his claim, I now ask him where is the ‘record’ that the President made an admission he sought an opinion of extending his term in office?” Mervin ignores the fact that Mr. Corbin and the PNCR had already provided evidence that President Jagdeo was seeking to extend his term in office.
See “Jagdeo challenges Corbin to identify legal advisors,” 9th January 2011.
I’ll attempt again to make it very simple for Mervin. In the Kaieteur News’ 9th article Mr. Corbin said “one of the three attempts was made to an individual attached to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).”
The said article reported that the “newspaper in speaking with a source at GECOM said that while a third term for the President was never discussed, the commission did address what would happen if GECOM was not ready at the constitutional deadline for elections.” SN in its 23rd January article ‘GECOM sought legal advice on extending life of current administration – source’ reported, “The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) had sought legal advice on the extension of the life of the current administration following a request from a government minister, a source told SN yesterday.
According to the usually reliable source, who chose to remain unnamed, the body had sought advice on the possibility of extending the government’s term through the dissolution of parliament and things of that nature and not a third term for President Bharrat Jagdeo who is constitutionally limited to two terms.” Both of these articles were referenced in my 24th January letter to Mervin.
They were sourced from SN which Mervin covers on a daily basis and would no doubt have read. So what more evidence does Mervin want?!
The other two sources Mr. Corbin did not reveal, we assume out of respect for their safety no longer matters in light of the confirmation of a “Jagdeo extended term” coming from GECOM.
Can Mervin understand this, or does this vindication of the PNCR and Mr. Corbin makes Mervin experience another knickers twister, deliberately being dishonest or pretending not to understand SN report that a government minister “sought advice on the possibility of extending the government’s term.”
No minister would have done this unless acting in the interest of President Jagdeo. Were this not so no doubt this minister would have been fired or disciplined or even subjected to one of the Presidential tirades captured in the media.
Clearly, Mervin’s penchant for public mischief or fatal attraction to Mr. Corbin won’t even let him acknowledge what every common entrance student could discern.
If Mervin is serious about getting to the bottom of this extending term matter he can use the letter columns to ask President Jagdeo to release the name of the minister who obviously acted on his behalf or he can ask SN to blow the GECOM sources cover.
Mervin could also ask the AFC to partner with him to do so to salvage his integrity. Here is a story worth chasing after Mervin that can offer you redemption.
There is a saying ‘who the gods want to destroy they first make mad.’ Having read Mervin’s running lying commentaries, one wonders.
