PNCR launches 60th anniversary celebrations

As the  People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) prepares to celebrate its 60th Anniversary this year, plans are on stream to ensure a renewal of party founder-leader, Forbes Burnham’s  ideology; that the citizenry be empowered and country put first, party executives say.

“Without this foundation, laid by Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham, we could not have the privileges we have today,” General Secretary of the PNCR, Oscar Clarke told attendees on Friday, at a media launch of the party’s activities for its 60th anniversary.

During his remarks, Clarke said that he wanted persons, especially the youth of the country, to be reminded of the party’s history. This way, he said, persons would understand that the parting of Burnham and the late Dr. Cheddi Jagan in the PPP and the subsequent formation of the PNC came about.
