Earlier today President Donald Ramotar decided to prorogue Parliament when faced with the No Confidence Motion brought against the Administration by the Alliance For Change (AFC) and supported by the APNU
The combined Opposition had signaled its intention to amend the Standing Orders of the National Assembly so that the Motion can be given precedence over any other business of the House; PPP General Secretary Rohee believes that this is a “reckless” move.
“We know it is inevitable that the No Confidence Motion will pass. With the passage of the No Confidence Motion, it automatically means that the House will dissolve and elections will be called in three months, that is what we’re faced with….With prorogation, the Parliament remains live and can be called,” Rohee told reporters.
Meanwhile Protesters gathered outside Parliament Buildings and staged a peaceful demonstration.
