President says will dissolve Parliament at appropriate time

President David Granger

President David Granger yesterday said that he will dissolve Parliament when the time comes but that it will remain in session and if necessary can be convened.

He was yesterday asked at the Ministry of the Presidency about his position on the resignation of his Cabinet, a matter that the opposition took to the Court. He said his government’s general position is to obey the ruling of the court and if they feel that the ruling is flawed they always have the option, which they have done in the past, of going to a higher court.

He contended  that the country cannot be without a government or a President and his Government’s interpretation of the constitution is that he remains the President until another is voted in after the general elections, a date for which has already been set.
