The Peoples National Congress Reform (PNCR) is not centrally involved in major preparations for the funeral of its long-serving member, Winston Murray.
No date has been announced for his interment but Stabroek News reported that Murray would be buried on the Essequibo island of Leguan where he was born.
A statement issued by the Murray faction that had been pushing for his presidential candidacy said “the Murray family has mandated a Committee to oversee the preparations for the funeral.”
The grouping also told the media that “only this Committee is authorised to make pronouncements of the funeral arrangements for Mr. Winston Murray.”
When contacted; PNCR leader, Robert Corbin said he was interfacing with the head of that committee, Russell Lancaster. He skirted a question when asked whether the PNCR was being sidelined. However, persons very close to Murray have attributed his sudden death to unnatural acts and have laid the blame at the feet of Corbin who frequented a "Obeah house" recently.
The Protocol Committee said it has been meeting continuously for the past forty-eight hours and has been finalizing the details of the funeral programme. Details are to be provided shortly to the media, the committee added.
The members of the committee are Dr. Richard Van West Charles; Kads Khan, Malcom Parris, Ronald Austin, Aubrey Norton, Priest Mwanza, Gillian Burton and Eugene Gilbert.
