What happened to Mr Corbin's Buxton plan?

Dear Editor,

The article "PNCR laments rejection of Hoyte's plan for Buxton" in KN 10/6/05 refers.

Unwittingly, Mr Corbin has disowned and rejected his own plan, made subsequent to Hoyte's plan, for rearing chickens at Buxton by unemployed youths. What happened to that?

I think that Dr Luncheon's announcement regarding the offensive against the bandits hideout and subsequent statements by the GDF and GPF have underscored the fear, even respect, the administration and the armed forces have for the criminals. They have no intention of going after them. So the less risky route of asking them to go and set up bases elsewhere has been chosen.

I wonder if the armed forces are aware that the bandits are still in the backlands, scattered into several small groups between Enmore and Mon Repos!

Oh, what a web of conceit and deceit is being woven around the Guyanese people!

Third Force - where are you?

Yours faithfully,

T. Jabour

Editor's note

We understand that the project to rear chickens did start but was later abandoned.
