Speaker of the National Assembly, Manzoor Nadir yesterday shot down a request by Leader of the Opposition Aubrey Norton calling for the House to debate the allegations of corrupt practices involving Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo along with an international investigation into his conduct.
The request along with a motion was submitted to the Clerk of the National Assembly, Sherlock Isaacs on Wednesday afternoon. The request which was addressed to Speaker Manzoor Nadir, reminded of the two VICE News reports with allegations against Jagdeo.
Norton submitted “…the revelations made by VICE News are damning and speak directly to the increasing levels of corruption in our society and its negative impact on the lives of the people of Guyana and therefore certainly qualify to be dealt with under the Standing Order as a matter of definite, urgent and of public importance.
