Rohee decision sent to MPs before release to media

Speaker of the National Assembly, Raphael Trotman yesterday refuted the claim by main opposition APNU that he had first released his ruling on efforts to gag Minister Clement Rohee to the media before parliamentarians.

“The registry of the Parliament issued the ruling to every member of the house, with a covering letter both electronic and in written form… I was asked and I said, ‘Yes, you may issue to the press but make sure that the members get it first,’” Trotman said
