Members of the Parliamentary opposition yesterday registered indignation at what they said was an incident of eavesdropping and the broadcasting of private conversations by their members, within the confines of their private room in the precincts of parliament at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre.
In a statement last night, they said “This egregious breach of trust strikes at the sanctity and the very heart of parliamentary decorum”.
During yesterday’s live broadcast of the 2024 Budget Consideration of Estimates & Expenditure around 8 pm, the opposition said it came to their attention that members of the Opposition, namely Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton, Ganesh Mahipaul and Cathy Hughes, were heard on the parliamentary live feed discussing sensitive matters in the confines of what should be the inviolable space that is the Opposition’s caucus room.
