–but did not object to name on GECOM list 

CHARTERED Accountant Christopher Ram is employed as an adviser to the Attorney-General on the setting up of a law school here, and has also done work for the AG chambers in the SM Jaleel court case, top sources have confirmed.
Ram recently railed against President David Granger’s decision to appoint Justice James Patterson as chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), on the ground that, among other things, the retired high court judge is employed by the government as an adviser to the Attorney-General.

“Well, Mr Ram has forgotten he is an adviser to the AG as well, and he allowed his name to be submitted on one of the lists to be considered as chairman,” the source said, speaking under strict conditions of anonymity.
The source also told the Guyana Chronicle that Ram pocketed huge sums of money for advisory services rendered to the AG Chambers in the recently concluded Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) case involving the Guyana Government and Trinidadian beverage firm, SM Jaleel and Company Limited.

In an interview aired on the PPP-aligned Newsroom, Ram is quoted as saying, “I
find it absolutely unbelievable that you could reject 18 Guyanese who are serving their country in different capacities now. They all are not perfect; I am certainly imperfect, but I am certainly not unfit or improper. In fact, under the Constitution, I am clearly fit and proper; but this is not about me.”
He was further quoted by the news outfit as saying that Justice Patterson has been “cozying up” to the government.

“I am speaking as a matter of fact. He is the dean of the five people who advise the attorney-general, who in turn advises the President. This thing is going to have serious repercussions,” he warned, noting that such a relationship certainly does not qualify the chairman as being “fit and proper.”
