I AM now convinced more than ever that some people have a penchant for burying their heads in the sand when it comes to certain matters of national importance. I refer specifically to the issue of selecting the Speaker of the National Assembly.
My choice for that position is without any prejudice. My choice is senior counsel Ralph Ramkarran. In fact, Mr. Editor, Mr. Ramkarran served in the position of Speaker of the National Assembly for 19 years with honour and distinction, and I am quite sure he is willing and able to continue to serve the nation in that capacity.
He has an unblemished record and has been respected for the impartial manner in which he carried out his functions as Speaker. I think the opposition parties in the House should put partisan politics behind their backs and support Mr. Ramkarran to be the Speaker of the new Parliament.
