Working People’s Alliance (WPA) attorney Christopher Ram has requested that former People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) leader Robert Corbin be summoned to testify at the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the death of Walter Rodney.
Ram also requested that Secretary to the Defence Board Dr Roger Luncheon also appear to give evidence.
His request, made yesterday, came following several mentions of the name ‘R. Corbin’ during the testimony of Lieutenant Colonel Sydney James and it was met with immediate objections by attorney Basil Williams, who is representing the interest of the PNCR before the Commission of Inquiry.
James, head of the army’s G2 branch, was tasked with providing information on the issuances of Guyana Defence Force (GDF) weaponry to external bodies

If Norman McLean, head of the army in 1980, can show up, why not Corbin?
On Norman's watch, the WPA's Roopnarine openly admitted the party received weapons from the army, while in the last decade allegations have been made that the PNC also received weapons from the army. Norman, who seemed non-plussed about these, further said he never met or heard of Gregory Smith, knew nothing going about his flight to Kwakwani and the to French Guiana, and disputed the signature of the late Godwyn McPherson in weapons transfer from the army.
If Basil Williams insists on blocking Corbin from testifying, it will look like an attempt to shield, when this should be the best way to clear his name.
I really do not know what exactly Luncheon will be asked to talk about, but he, too, should show up if summoned. The farce has only a couple of weeks of political battery life left.

Corbin like me , was just getting in to Guyana politics.
I had already met the good Doctor several times after he returned from Africa.
This is indeed a waste of time.
his assasination was ordered by the Kabaka ! >
