Opposition MPs were yesterday reprimanded by Speaker Dr Barton Scotland for their raucous behaviour on November 2nd, when they staged a protest that drowned out most of President David Granger’s address to the National Assembly.
“The display showed by some Honourable members of this House was both intemperate and misguided at the 71st Sitting. Let it be recorded that this House strongly deprecates the conduct shown by some Honourable members on that occasion,” Scotland said in a strongly-worded statement ,which was read to the House shortly after yesterday’s sitting began.
Granger’s state of the nation address was mostly drowned out by heckling members of the opposition, who were protesting the unilateral appointment of retired judge James Patterson as Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission.
