Debate on motion for scrapping of lands inquiry suspended until next month

Debate on an opposition motion for the revocation of the presidential commission of inquiry (CoI) on lands commenced on Monday in the National Assembly but only two speakers managed to make presentations before it was deferred for more than a month.

The mover of the motion, former Minister of Amerindian Affairs Pauline Sukhai, and Minister of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs Sydney Allicock were the only speakers on the motion before the parliamentary sitting concluded at 10pm.
