The PNCR in a statement on Friday said that it continues to pray for its long-standing member who remains in a critical condition at the hospital. The party expressed its “sincere gratitude to all the doctors and medical personnel at the Georgetown Hospital and Dr Crandon for the medical care that they are continuing to provide Mr Murray.” The party also expressed its gratitude to the National Assembly, the Government of Guyana and, all Guyanese at home and abroad, who have rallied in support of Mr Murray’s medical care and recovery.
On Friday evening, some former members of the party’s youth movement, the Guyana Youth and Student Movement (GYSM) held a prayer vigil outside of the GPH.
Meanwhile, Stabroek News understands that a group of Murray’s close associates would have met on Thursday to mull the possibility of more tests being conducted. Stabroek News was, however, unable to ascertain whether any concrete decision had been made at the meeting.
An associate told this newspaper that a specialist from Trinidad and Tobago may be flown in to conduct an Electroencephalogram (EEG) test. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of the brain.
On Sunday, Dr Crandon upon assessing Murray’s condition, stated that there was no evidence of brain function and advised that surgical intervention should not be performed.
Murray, 69, collapsed while standing in a line at McDoom, East Bank Demerara, last Thursday evening and gave his car key to a public-spirited citizen whom he told to take him to the Balwant Singh Hospital. He was later transferred to the GPH.
He suffered cerebral haemorrhaging and subsequently lapsed into an unconscious state.
Meanwhile, the PNCR announced on Friday that it will air a feature programme on the contributions of Mr Murray in the National Assembly of the Parliament of Guyana on its next Nation Watch programme.
