Guyana's first President Arthur Chung dies

Tuesday, June 24, 2008

Guyana's first President, Raymond Arthur Chung died at his Bel Air Springs home in Georgetown on Monday.
The former president, who was the countrys first Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Joint Services, had been in and out of hospital over the past two months. He returned home from the hospital last Friday.
Mr. Chung who was accorded Guyanas Highest Award, the Order of Excellence will receive a full State Funeral.
The former president leaves to mourn his wife, two children - Diane Pamela and Raymond Arthur (Jnr) who live in England and are expected to be home shortly. He is also survived by five grandchildren. The former High Court Judge became President in 1970 following the sudden death of Sir. David Rose, the Governor General and Head of State.

Arthur Chung was made President as a compromise candidate since the two major parties could not agree on a suitable Candidate for the ceremonial position. He left office in 1980 following the birth of the 1980 Guyana Constitution which made then Prime Minister Forbes Burnham, the Executive President and Head of State.

Arthur Chung was 90 years old.
