Robert Corbin, a man of questionable characters and associations

I am Robert Corbin you talk about on television, we will get you at the appropriate time and make you an example.”

—Allegedly said by Robert Corbin, PNC Chairman, to Kwame McCoy, talk show host known for anti-PNC criticism, who claimed that Corbin threatened him in the Georgetown Public Hospital. Corbin has denied the allegation.

 

 

          

 

 

 

 

 

 

Open letter to U.S. State Department Caribbean Division Head
THE Leader of the Opposition of Guyana, Robert Corbin, will this week be visiting the United States State Department with the hope of soliciting the Department's involvement in the orchestra that he (Mr. Corbin) is putting together to blow the trumpet that he hopes will signal the downfall of the democratically-elected PPP/C administration in Guyana.

Having failed abysmally to attract widespread support for his efforts to force the resignation of the Home Affairs Minister and having failed to convince the chief drummer, self-confessed informant George Bacchus, who has been charged for murder on three occasions, to come forward and tell the police what he knows, Mr. Corbin is hoping that diplomatic pressure can be used to bolster his flagging efforts at home.

Even Mr. Corbin has refused to disclose to the police, the only competent authority to mount an investigation, the "information/intelligence" he claims to possess. The Commissioner of Police has invited him to make the information available. He has failed to do so!

The State Department is, however, equally aware of the allegations and I believe do have credible information which is still circulating in the country about the PNC/R's involvement in crime over the past two years in Guyana and may have some questions of its own for Mr. Corbin. Such as:

1. Why did a leading member of the executive of the party go to Buxton, in the midst of the crime wave, and say to the criminals, "keep up the pressure until the government falls"?

2. Why was the PNC/R unwilling to use its unquestionable influence within that community to bring an end to the harboring of terrorists within that locale, which eventually led to the kidnapping of American diplomat Mr. Stephen Lesniak on Saturday, April 12, 2003?

3. How is it that that cell phone number of leading members of the PNC/R was found on one of the criminals when members of the Guyana Defense Force arrested him? This cell phone number is not listed in the telephone directory.

4. How is it that the increase in criminal attacks on citizens, especially emanating from Buxton, always coincides with heightened political agitation by the opposition PNC/R/

5. Why is Mr. Corbin's party head office being used as shelter for criminals, including one called 'Gun Mouth,' as told to the police by several while in custody?

6. What is the reaction of the leader of the PNC/R that two persons charged with murder following the allegations about a death squad are said to have been working for the PNC/R?

7. Can the Leader of the Opposition say exactly what work these men used to do for his party?

8. If the leader of the PNC/R is committed to the rule of law, can he say why it is that he is averse to a formal report being made to the police on the allegations made about the Minister of Home Affairs? The government has indicated that it favors a transparent investigation.

Perhaps, the State Department staff meeting with Mr. Corbin would find the answers or lack thereof revealing.
Yours truly,
Cyril Belgrave
Member of Parliament of Guyana

Any inquiry should also probe attempted genocide by the Buxton phantom
The Gajraj saga continues. Mr. Corbin wants an inquiry, which the government supports. The dispute is as a result of Corbin's insistence that the inquiry be held, notwithstanding no report has been made to the official authorities. The President is requesting that Corbin encourage person or persons in receipt of information to present such information to the Guyana Police Force.

Now for an inquiry to be held there must be a basis. Must not there be statements in support of what needs to be investigated? When a commission of inquiry is set up it will be told to investigate certain things. Must the President pull from the air matters for the commission to investigate without any basis?

I think Mr. Corbin should mobilize his people to submit statements so that the commission can be established. Perhaps Mr. Corbin feels this may not be necessary because he has already found the Minister of Home Affairs guilty. The protest meeting, which he headed and addressed, was adorned with great impressive banners. One has decreed that Mr. Gajraj go to jail without bail. And as to be expected Channel 6 has been showing these pickets every night.

Incidentally, when Mr. Corbin decides to submit statements and questions for the Commission of Inquiry to investigate, he should, of course, also request that the commission investigate, or that another commission be established to investigate, the attempted genocide of Indo-Guyanese passing through Buxton, the phantom like removal of the tape which is believed to have recorded the features of the person who might have been involved in the killing of Hamilton - a tape that may give a lead to the Buxton phantom, as well as the attack on the workers laying pipes along the Embankment Road at Annandale, and the reason army personnel nearby offered for not intervening.

Comments and Responses  GUYANA GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE

Mr Corbin would act so hastily and politically immature to assume the positions of "judge, jury, and executioner" on the current matter. Mr Corbin would do well to recall when as government Minister a much more serious charge was brought against him in relation to an alleged incident on September 27, 1986 in his Office.
