Mark Benschop and wife separated |

Tuesday, 30 June 2009 |
Since my position as head of the Movement for Change in Guyana and the Benschop Foundation brings me before the public in an official capacity, I concede that some changes in my private life will have to be explained publicly. In this context, I wish to give notice of marital separation between myself and my spouse. Unfortunately, my liberty was not the only victim of the Machiavellian manipulation of the PPP regime and the criminal justice system that incarcerated me for over five plus years.
It extracted a heavy toll on my marriage and my life, hence the changes I am announcing today. I consider myself a servant of my poor and underprivileged country men and women, and have been dedicating my life in the pursuit of change in, and amelioration of the conditions and circumstances that continue to isolate them in prisons of need. This I will continue to do, regardless of the changes in my private life. Since the issues between my spouse and I are irreconcilable, my intention is to conclude the legal separation process in a manner that does not traumatize, or in any way adversely affect the psychology of my son, Ryan. |
