In his maiden presentation to the National Assembly, government Member of Parliament (MP) Sanjeev Datadin on Monday accused the opposition APNU+AFC of being responsible for the erosion of the rule of law and democracy during its tenure in office, and the five months it took to declare the winner of the March 2nd polls.
In his contribution to the budget debate, Datadin said that the emergency budget expressly states that it is one for strengthening democracy and the rule of law.
Referencing the passage of the December 21st, 2018 No-Confidence Motion (NCM) against the the David Granger-led A Partnership for National Unity+Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) coalition, Datadin reasoned that the nation ought not to have been made to wait from then until June 18th, 2019, for the government to discover that 33 is a majority of the 65-member House and therefore the vote had been validly passed.
