Speaker Barton Scotland has referred PPP/C Chief Whip Gail Teixeira’s complaint against Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo’s participation in the National Assembly while he is performing the functions of President to the parliamentary committee on constitutional reform for a resolution.
The decision, which was communicated yesterday via letter to Teixeira and subsequently read in the House by Scotland, has left the Chief Whip “deeply disappointed” and she stressed that the Speaker has left the opposition with no choice but to but to seek legal recourse.
“Personally, I’m extraordinarily disappointed. I expected that the Speaker of the National Assembly would uphold the Constitution,” Teixeira told reporters following Scotland’s announcement.
