Cabinet was taken aback by Speaker Ralph Ramkarran’s decision to permit the moving of a controversial debt ceiling motion by PNCR-1G MP Winston Murray and had therefore ruled that Finance Minister Ashni Singh’s statement on it be made public.
This was revealed yesterday by Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon at his post-Cabinet briefing, according to a release from the Government Information Agency (GINA).
Dr Luncheon said that government’s exercise of its executive prerogative in bringing matters of a financial nature to the attention of the parliament for its consideration or enactment would not be stayed or shared.
