Since taking office in May this year, Ombudsman Justice (rtd) Winston Patterson has received a total of 71 complaints.
Giving brief comments to Stabroek News recently, Patterson said that aside from the complaints made to him, he inherited 13 cases and 11 non-jurisdictional matters.
According to Patterson, he wouldn’t want to comment on whether he has any “major” cases before him as several which may fit into this category are sub judice. He also said that he is operating with adequate staff and facilities.
