From all indications, the PNCR does not wish to govern Guyana anymoreFebruary 3, 2009 By knews Filed Under Letters
Dear Editor,
As an ardent supporter of the PNC for over 30 years, I am very perturbed to see the “sinking of the ship”.Once again, we are observing the departure of important crew members, leaving the stubborn captain, who does not intend to change the ship’s course.
I make specific mention of the resignation of Mr. Winston Murray as chairman of the party, the suspension of James McAllister, and the non-involvement of members such as Andrew Hicks, Vincent Alexander, Ivor Allen and Dalgleish Joseph, among others.
At present, the PNCR is at its weakest stage under the leadership of Mr. Robert Corbin, despite boasting “large membership” at the last congress. This is indeed far from reality, because over the last year and over, the party has failed to maintain its membership and even attract new members.
While, prior to Mr. Corbin taking up the position of leader of the party, the party has attracted and maintained a large number of professionals, today many are forced to leave, and those who have chosen to remain seem to be contented to sit and allow the party, that was once a force to be reckoned with, to be destroyed.
Congress is due this year, and from all indications, it seems that party members will once again endorse Corbin as the leader, since there have been no changes within the executive of the various regions and districts.
It is indeed a sad state to watch the PNCR operating as a “toothless tiger”, as we approach 2011 National and Regional Elections.
From all indications, the PNCR has no intention to govern this country anymore, because, if two years before elections are held a decision cannot be made as to someone with the vision and insight to lead our party, then we are bent on remaining in opposition for five more years.
I make a call for other serious members of our party to start looking towards 2011. We should have a strong leader, and moreso, a strong presidential candidate.
