Leader Joe berates Chairperson Claudette

Welcome back Atlantic Symphony

Joe was naughty! Belligerent! Pugnacious! Even vicious in his repudiations, assertions and rejections. What am I going on about?

I’m referring to the feral responses by PNC parliamentary Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon to GECOM Chairperson Claudette Singh’s vote in favour of the just-appointed Chief Election Officer (CEO) and Commissioner of National Registration.

An incensed Harmon was fluent in his indignation; aggressively judgemental in his assessment of the retired Justice Singh’s vote which was in tandem with the pro-government GECOM commissioners. Before Joe’s blasts, the three pro-opposition GECOM fellows had already promoted their reasons for opposing any appointment of Vishnu Persaud to CEO status. But it was leader Harmon’s conclusions about chairperson/Justice Claudette which struck me in the stomach. Why?
