Opposition questions the Government on postponement of dates for next sitting of the National Assembly

Opposition questions the Government on postponement of dates for next sitting of the National Assembly  

Georgetown : The Party Whips had agreed that the next Sitting of the National Assembly would be on Thursday 30th May 2013. However, the Leader of Government Business, Prime Minister Mr. Samuel A. Hinds, arbitrarily announced that the Sitting would be on Tuesday 28th May 2013.

 However, by a letter, dated today, Friday 24th May 2013, from Mr. Clement Rohee on behalf of the Prime Minister and Leader of Government Business, to the Speaker of the National Assembly, the Government is now, by way of a most ingenuous reason, requesting that the next Sitting of the National Assembly be held on Thursday 13th June 2013.

Main opposition party  APNU says it coincidental that this date is the day after the resumed meeting, on Wednesday 12th June 2013, of the Special Select Committee dealing with the anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (amendment) bill 2013 – bill no. 12/2013 .
