President Donald Ramotar will be addressing the Tenth Parliament on Friday where the developmental plans and policies of his Administration would be laid before the House.
The Government’s intended policies, programmes and plans during President Ramotar’s tenure in office; 2011-2016, will also be highlighted, Head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr. Roger Luncheon told media operatives today.
“The president’s address would also focus on body politic and the likely contributions to the goals that the PPP/C would be advancing,” Dr. Luncheon said.
On the agenda to be advanced in the National Assembly would include the tabling of bills including the Supplementary and the Local Authorities Amendment Bills.
The Members of Parliament (MPs), during the day’s proceeding will also debate on which party will control the Committee of Selection. This committee is responsible for deciding the members for all committees in the National Assembly. To date the matter has not been resolved as to which party will govern the Committee of Selection.
Government has been calling on Members of the Opposition to ‘rise to the occasion’ with respect to decision making, since this would impact on the lives of Guyanese.
Following the National and Regional Elections on November 28 last, the majority of seats, 32, was won by the PPP/C with A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) securing 26 and the Alliance for Change, 7.
The opposition members combined ‘heisted’ the Speaker and Deputy Speaker positions, with no regard for the precedent set in Commonwealth Parliaments where the party with the most seats gets the Speaker.
