Dear Editor,
It appears as if Cabinet is openly challenging Speaker Ralph Ramkarran’s ruling on the Peoples National Congress Reform debt ceiling motion.
Cabinet Secretary, Dr Roger Luncheon, stated Cabinet’s position as follows:
“The opposition to the motion was not an opposition to a feeling being set or parliament being the authority within which that would be done. The point that the minister made was that our constitution, law, parliamentary democracies, custom and practice exclusively provided for the government to introduce such legislation and not any member or parties in parliament.”
