The parliamentary opposition People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) yesterday declared that current Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) James Patterson should be fired for misleading President David Granger over his appointment in Grenada, where he had served as acting Chief Justice.
Speaking at a press conference yesterday, PPP/C Member of Parliament (MP) Priya Manickchand repeatedly stressed that her party not only remains extremely outraged at the process through which Patterson was appointed but also about the “unsuitability of the gentleman himself.”
“If you are willing to lie on your CV …the president has good reason, good grounds, to unabashedly and unapologetically rescind this appointment based on the misrepresentations made to him,” she said.
