After it was initially disallowed because the Order for salary increases for government ministers and parliamentarians had not yet been laid in the National Assembly, the PPP/C can now resubmit its motion which calls for a reversal of the salary hikes, Clerk of the National Assembly Sherlock Isaacs has said.
He told Stabroek News that he has written to opposition Chief Whip Gail Teixeira notifying her that she can resubmit the motion. Isaacs said that after consulting with his staff and researching, he felt that the opposition could resubmit the motion and there was precedent for this.
The PPP/C wanted the motion to be placed on the Order Paper on October 22, 2015 but this was not allowed by Isaacs.
