Leader of the main Opposition Party, Robert Corbin claims that he respects and obeys the laws of Guyana . However, yesterday during his planned protests the police did not grant permission for this exercise to continue.

Mr. Corbin, nevertheless, gave his followers this information then proceeded to say that, since his driver had left he would have to walk back to his Chambers.

Utter nonsense! Why not just order his driver to return? This is a silly transparent ploy to break the law!

It is quite obvious that he was bent on finding a way in which to ensure that the protest continued, although it was now termed a ‘walk to my chambers.’ Mr. Corbin knew that he was breaching the same law that he claims to obey but he still continued despite several attempts by the police to halt the protest.

The routes taken by his supporters/picketers included stopping in front of the Magistrate’s Court to picket with the placards which were inclusive of ‘his walk home.’

While protesting is an effective way to highlight a situation, I think the PNC/R’s culture of protesting is becoming quite tiresome and downright irritating to the Guyanese public.

Why can’t Mr. Corbin find a more constructive manner in which to highlight issues? The few hundreds of people he is manipulating may be enjoying themselves. But what about the majority of Guyanese who have to face this stress day after day?

Doesn’t Mr. Corbin have any regard for them? When will he become tired of his selfish obsession?
