The governing People's Progressive Party (PPP) has supported a motion by People's National Congress (PNC) opposition leader, Robert Corbin, recognizing former President Forbes Burnham for his extraordinary and outstanding career as a Guyanese leader. The small opposition Unity for Change (UFC) party also supported the motion. The motion calls for a collection of speeches spanning Burnham's tenure in the National Assembly from 1953 until his death in 1985, for display in the Library of the National Assembly and for the government to designate a state institution to be responsible for historic research and documentation to chronicle and archive all the works of each of the country's presidents for benefit of future generation.
