Patterson Sick Again...what do you expect at 85?

Medical leave has been extended for the Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), Justice (Rtd) James Patterson, 85.

A statement today from GECOM said that Patterson’s leave has been extended following a visit to his doctor yesterday. Following the postponement of meetings from early December because he was unwell, GECOM had said that the meetings would resume from today.

“While the Chairman has been recovering well, he was advised by his doctor to have some additional rest to ensure that he fully recovers to effectively resume duty”, GECOM said.

The extension of leave will raise increasing questions about whether Patterson will be able to perform his duties. This is particularly in the light that early general elections have to be held following the passage of a motion of no confidence against the government.

There are also outstanding matters pertaining to the Local Government Elections of November 12 last year.

Patterson’s selection by President David Granger after he had rejected 18 names submitted by Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo had led to questions being raised about whether he would be able to endure the rigours and divisiveness of a general elections campaign at his advanced age.

They are looking to postpone the election until another one is appointed. Just in case the court case is thrown out.

Now would be a good time to replace Patterson with Joe Singh.

Ow man, why you bring up race? Joe Singh is not racial. He was GECOM Chairman before and can stand in temporarily while Patterson recovering. The Constitution provides for a temporary Chairman. IMO, Joe Singh is fit and proper and widely respected.

Many other races were on the various lists presented to Granger for GECOM chairman selection. He wanted someone Fit and Proper so he unilaterally picked Patterson breaking the rules of the procedure used for many years.

In your narrow mind, everything boils down to race. You are a fit and proper fit for team PNC.

Why is this not an appropriate answer? Rejecting BJ's three lists so Granger can put a racist black man to rig the election was the appropriate thing to do? The man is on his death bed now. Was this logical planning or Granger and his henchmen have myopia?

One thing, was good the speaker of the house was not Indian, then they would say it’s a grand Indo conspiracy. Let the Gecom head be Afro, does it really matter at this point? Elections in less than 3 months.

If the PPP wins they should keep the speaker. If not, make him head of Gecom.
