Indeed, based on how parliament concluded the last sitting for the break, it is abundantly clear in the legislative procedures that the Government sets the date for the opening for the new session.

The Speaker seems not be to neutral, but peddling the causes of the AFC, if true he's not fit to sit in that chair.

How long you think they'll wait and for what reason DG?

Same question councieman,when you think they plan on comin back to work and why the holdup, you know everything do tell?

[www.inewsguyana.com] – Government believes that the intention of Speaker of the National Assembly, Raphael Trotman to “personally convene” a sitting of the National Assembly is “inconsistent with parliamentary fundamentals.”

This is according to Cabinet Secretary, Dr Roger Luncheon, who told reporters today, Wednesday, October 29 that Cabinet has noted the Speaker’s inconsistent positions as it relates to who is responsible for setting a date for the National Assembly to reconvene.

As such, he revealed that government will make a decision by the end of the week as it relates to setting a date for the sitting.

Speaker of the National Assembly Raphael Trotman

this evening said that the nation faced

a “clear and unvarnished constitutional crisis”

after the Clerk of the National Assembly Sherlock Isaacs

today declined the speaker’s request

to convene a sitting of parliament on November 6.

Trotman in a statement said that

the Clerk maintained his view

that the Speaker lacked the authority

to convene sittings of the National Assembly.

Trotman noted that the roles of Speaker

and Clerk are regulated by the constitution

and it is the duty of the Clerk to convene the sitting.

The Clerk has been of the view

that the government has to set the date.

Government Chief Whip Gail Teixeira

has been accused by opposition Chief Whip Amna Ally

of dilly-dallying over the setting of the date.

Teixeira has not been available in recent days

to explain the continuing delay.

Observers say the government wants

to stave off a sitting

as it would likely see

an AFC  motion of no-confidence passed against.

The government appears to be holding out

for some deal with the opposition coalition APNU

which would put the no-confidence motion on the back burner.

In his statement,

Trotman invited all

“well thinking Guyanese to join me

in examining all viable options

and avenues to break the impasse

in the interest of our beloved nation”.

Aright, we gettin a date set by end of da week, Iman happy now.

Anyone wanna bet dem crabdags gonna put it around sometime in Feb.

heheheheh dem running scared Cain scared.

So much for all de fat talk about 99% mudslide.

Other speakers were tools. This is a real speaker in a real speakers position for the first time in the history of the state.

Common sense should inform you that the President cannot be in control of the parliament according to the separations of powers.  Nowhere is it said the government should set the date. It states the speaker shall imitate the commencement of parliament by informing the clerk to common the parliamentarians. The dufus clerk, a soup slurped refuses.

Time to walk around him. Tell the Chat-3 to prepare a brief yo the PPP pocket judge. Even this time he cannot bail them out. Note they already tried to circumvent the independence of the judiciary by pretending it is their right to staff the place. These fellows are truly diseased!

Pertinent section of the legislation states that in this specific situation the government sets the date for the sitting.

Darn yes, the Speaker has no power.
