People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) executive Aubrey Norton has accused Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo of seeking to create “confusion” with his declaration that the government has been operating illegally since March 21st.
Speaking at a PNCR press conference on Friday, Norton maintained that Jagdeo’s claim is without merit. “We have already established that government is not illegal… to read [Article] 106 (6) without 106 (7) is really not to deal with the law properly. However one understands the nature of the Opposition Leader. First of all, the Opposition Leader is in a place where he hopes to get power at all costs. The government is clear in its head and it’s operating legally. The Elections Commission has jurisdiction over when elections are called and the minute the Elections Commission says to the president that we are prepared and ready and we have a credible list, there will be elections,” Norton said.
