The problem with so many politicians in our parliament is that voters cannot be sure what they stand for. They seem to have schizophrenic personalities with magical and deceptive abilities to escape all forms of accountability. Their first love is an addiction to hold on to power
Up to press time last evening, the parliamentary opposition PPP/C was still awaiting a response by Speaker of the National Assembly Dr. Barton Scotland to a formal complaint by Opposition Chief Whip Gail Teixeira that the continued attendance in the National Assembly by Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo, who is currently performing the functions of president, is in breach of the constitution
โThe Prime Minister is squatting in this House if he is acting as president,โ Teixeira later told reporters before noting that the PPP/C is prepared to take the matter to court if necessary. The delivery of the letter resulted in the dayโs consideration of the estimates for the various government agencies, starting almost one hour late.
