President Donald Ramotar yesterday said that the controversial prorogation of Parliament could last until the New Year.
When asked by this newspaper what his next course of action would be as it has been a week since he wrote the Leader of the Opposition, David Granger requesting talks and there had been no response, Ramotar said that it was “quite possible” the prorogation on November 10th, 2014 would be continued into 2015.
He told Stabroek News that he didn’t want to tie himself down to a timeline and was giving Granger more time to respond to his formal request for dialogue. The Opposition Leader is yet to respond and told Stabroek News after Tuesday’s shadow cabinet meeting that no decision has been made as yet if he will engage the president. Granger has reiterated multiple times that before any talks can occur, Ramotar will have to end the House suspension.
Ramotar said that the “prorogation will end one way or another,”
