Prorogation sole recourse in face of no-confidence motion – President

Donald Ramotar

President Donald Ramotar yesterday said that his decision to prorogue Parliament was his “sole recourse” to preserving the life of the 10th Parliament and to bring an end to the opposition’s “political gamesmanship.”

In a live television broadcast one hour before Parliament was set to reconvene, Ramotar in an address to the nation, undertook to assure that the six months that the prorogation guarantees will be used to engage the parliamentary opposition in “constructive ways” on matters of national importance.
