Gov’t after proportionality, not control in parliamentary committee -AG

Anil Nandlall

Attorney General Anil Nandlall yesterday said that the government is not fighting for control of Parliament, only proportionality in the representation on the Committee of Selection to reflect last year’s general elections results.

“You can’t have four (for the PPP/C) and four (for APNU) in that committee; 49.2% cannot be equal to 40%. To decrease us to 40% from nearly 50% is disproportionality. It would be more proportional to give us the .8% seats than take from 9.2% seats from us,” Nandlall argued
