Corbin cannot make me a scapegoat

Aug 09, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
At the end of his inglorious and disastrous period as Leader (sic) of the People’s National Congress Reform, Corbin needs to cover up and camouflage his disgraced and failed leadership of the party by scape-goating me and others.
His stint as leader of the PNC will go down as the darkest period in the history of the PNC. He reversed most of the gains achieved by Burnham and Hoyte, and he did it at the same time with alacrity and arrogance.
Apart from being a YSM Executive member in the early 70’s, I held no other position in the PNC… elected or otherwise.
Two YSM Congress elections were rigged to rob me of the positions of Chairman and then General Secretary. Since the 70’s, I have always operated on the fringes of the PNC recognizing since then that my God-given special superior ability was never going to be allowed to blossom and grow – that is why I organized the 2002 struggle in support of the Kwakwani people under the umbrella of the People’s Solidarity movement.
The mistake I made at the time was to allow Corbin and others to be involved, but I was acting on the instructions of Mr. Desmond Hoyte. However, my conscience is clear and my heart is pure, concerning the 2002 struggles and the tragic event of July 3, that saw two comrades losing their lives and many others being injured (Corbin said in his Congress address that eight persons lost their lives on that tragic day 10 years ago).
I have written about these events and will publish at a time of my choosing and no baiting by Corbin will preempt me. Suffice to say that it was Corbin who was aggressively pushing me to give myself up. It was Corbin who, on the night of July 3, 2002 first said to me, at the Square of the Revolution, that I will be charged with treason.
I have deliberately stayed out of this current Linden struggle, because I saw betrayal looming on the horizon. Corbin, however, will not succeed in his attempt to direct the anger of the people of Linden against me.
I supported the PPP at the last elections purely for economic reasons. I felt we in Linden and Region 10 need a five year breathing space to bring real economic development to the region and Linden… by any means necessary. The people of Region 10 rejected my entreaties – so be it.
My first, my foremost, and my only political support is and always will be to and for the people of Linden and Region 10. My record of achievements cannot and will not be erased by Corbin.
