National Assembly could be asked to settle PAC stalemate – Edghill

David Patterson

The National Assembly might soon be called on to resolve the stalemate which persists at the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in relation to the Chairmanship of APNU+AFC MP David Patterson.

“There are three options: Mr Patterson can resign, the motion can be put to a vote in the Committee or the motion will have to go to the House for it to be dealt with. There are only three ways forward,” Minister of Public Works Juan Eghill told this newpaper yesterday, adding that the current intractability of the Opposition suggests that government may have to bring such a motion to the House.

APNU+AFC  Member of Parliament and the PAC, Jermaine Figueira in speaking to Stabroek News yesterday acknowledged that there is the option for a motion in the House.
