As it seeks to rally support against critics of President David Granger’s appointment of Retired Justice James Patterson as GECOM’s Chairman, Minister of State Joseph Harmon last evening called on West Bank of Demerara residents to know the facts concerning the decision and be prepared to defend it.
“They say that false news travels fast, but tonight we are here to deliver the good news and even if it comes on the turtle’s back and you give it to your neighbours, it will withstand the lies and the ignorance that is going on in some other sections of this country,” Harmon told attendees at a community outreach, held at the West Demerara Secondary School.
“I have asked that we meet here that we can address this matter of national importance to all of us, it has to do with the election of the Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commissions,” Harmon added as he explained why he felt he was fit to speak on the issue since he also helped in decision making.
