Commentator Ralph Ramkarran says the issues that new Leader of the Opposition, Aubrey Norton wants to have addressed with President Irfaan Ali would be better handled in a parliamentary committee.
In his column in yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek, Ramkarran, a former two-term Speaker of Parliament also rapped both the government and the opposition for not making use of the various committees which were established via the constitution reform that took place in 1999-2000.
President Ali last week announced he will invite the Opposition Leader for talks on constitutional appointments in two weeks and this prompted Norton to say at a PNCR press conference that he was looking for broader dialogue.
