Apparently, the Opposition is more powerful than the Constitution |

AFTER almost a month of arguments the National Assembly on Wednesday evening approved the 2013 national budget, but $31.35 billion less than what was originally presented to the House. If this is correct then the combined Opposition won on every front. They argued that they have the right and power to cut the budget estimates and that the Court has no right over Parliament and the Constitution. The Court should then be dissolved since House Speaker Mr Raphael Trotman and his comrades have more power than both the President and the Court. If this is true, it means the Speaker of the House has more power than the President. If KN headline is correct then it means Government βcaved inβ. If the combined Opposition could bully this Government like this then I feel sad for innocent Guyanese on the streets all across Guyana. |
