Three bills sent for AG’s certification

Clerk of the National Assembly Sherlock Isaacs has confirmed that three of the five bills passed during last week’s sitting of the National Assembly were sent off to the Attorney General’s (AG’s) Chambers yesterday morning but said they had not yet been returned as he had hoped.

Speaking to Stabroek News yesterday afternoon, Isaacs said he could not say when the Hydro Electric Power (Amendment) Bill, the Municipal and District Councils Bill, and the Fiscal Transfers Bill would be returned since “once sent to the AG’s Chambers they are out of my hands.”

On Tuesday though, he was optimistic that they would be speedily returned,
