The opposition PPP/C has written to Speaker of the National Assembly Dr Barton Scotland, contending that today’s sitting of the National Assembly is unconstitutional and therefore should not be held.
“The Parliamentary Opposition is of the view that the business that is scheduled to be considered by the National Assembly on the 3rd January, 2019, is not in compliance with Article 106(7) of the Constitution. Therefore, any sitting of the National Assembly that is not in compliance with this article is a violation of the Constitution. Thus, the Parliamentary Opposition will not participate in undermining the Constitution, and, further recommend that this sitting should not be held,” Opposition Chief Whip Gail Teixeira said in a letter to Scotland dated December 31, 2018.
The PPP released the letter to the media last evening.
