PNCR to compile written works of Burnham for students’ benefits

Former leader of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR), Robert Corbin yesterday pledged his services to the current leader of the party David Granger towards the compilation of works and speeches done by the late Head of State Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham.
The commitment was made at a memorial ceremony held at the National Congress of Women (NCW) Headquarters, Public Road Kitty,  acknowledging and celebrating the life of the country’s first Executive President.
That ceremony marked the second of its kind for the day.

Yesterday morning, executive members of the PNCR also met at the mausoleum in the Botanical Gardens, where Burnham’s remains are located, to pay homage through the laying of floral tributes.
In the afternoon, even though threatened by dark clouds, Corbin presented an in-depth speech about the life of the “father of the party.”
He fondly acknowledged the National Service and other similar initiatives by Burnham.
Corbin made reference to several other remembrance days that saw presentations upon the life of Burnham, however, “after August 6, those presentations are not readily available for our students of history”.
Having made that assertion, Corbin asked for a pledge that by August 6 next year, “all these presentations and similar ones of worth” are complied in a single chronicle that will be available to students.
