Leader of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) Robert Corbin has said that the response of the Jagdeo administration to the recently released dossier by the joint opposition parties is not surprising.
Corbin made those comments during his party’s weekly press briefing at Congress Place, Sophia.
Corbin said that the decline in the rule of law in Guyana, the wanton trampling of human rights of citizens by the state, the unprecedented number of torture allegations by the security forces and the support of executions are no secret. He noted that his party had previously warned that instead of rectifying the situation, the PPP/C administration took refuge in propaganda and distortion for years.
He said that it was the administration’s contention that the information outlined therein is inaccurate.
Corbin stated that if the Jagdeo administration really wanted to declare their position then they should not hesitate to call for an international inquiry. He said surely the move would vindicate the regime from all the allegations.
The opposition leader said that his party is not fooled by the usual propaganda that has become a trademark of the administration’s response. He noted that what has become obvious is that the publication has motivated many Guyanese to provide much more information that has been omitted from the dossier.
Corbin said that he welcomes the new developments and called upon all Guyanese to supply the relevant information to ensure that the dossier becomes a more comprehensive document.
He opined that the omission of some details from the dossier or the alleged inaccuracies does not diminish the objective of the Joint Opposition Political Parties.
Corbin further stated that the dossier is not intended to replace an inquiry but rather make the case for such an inquiry to be held. The evidence to support the contentions therein would be left for witnesses to provide to the inquiry when established; no amount of criticism therefore could diminish the need for such an inquiry.
He said that the PNCR in collaboration with all Opposition Parties would continue to pursue the objective of an international inquiry to investigate the links between the Jagdeo administration and the criminal enterprise led by convicted drug trafficker Shaheed ‘Roger’ Khan.
Corbin stressed that the third term shenanigans of President Jagdeo and his misguided bunch will not divert their attention.
He said that his party has already warned the president that no amount of international publicity on the protection of the environment or on the Low Carbon Development Strategy will spare anyone in his government from accounting for the misdeeds of office, neither will be spared of accounting for his role in those atrocities.
