AFC Member of Parliament Moses Nagamootoo has moved to ensure that his party’s no-confidence motion against the government be given priority on the order paper for the earliest sitting of the National Assembly, now that the annual parliamentary recess is over.
“I kindly request that you place the aforesaid Motion on the Order Paper as a matter of priority, to take precedence over all other business of the House, for debate at the earliest Sitting that I expect to be on Thursday, the 16th day of October, 2014,” Nagamootoo wrote in a brief letter sent yesterday to Clerk of the National Assembly Sherlock Isaacs.
The dispatch of the letter, which was also copied to Speaker of the National Assembly Raphael Trotman, coincides with the end of the recess as of yesterday’s date.
Nagamootoo is the mover of the motion, which if passed by a majority vote would force the resignation of the government and the holding of new general elections within three months. The main opposition APNU, which has the votes needed to ensure the passage of the AFC-led motion, has already signaled its commitment to support the move.
