Gov’t moves to court to block No-Confidence motion
The country’s Attorney General Basil Williams says the Government is prepared to take its case all the way to the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) after Speaker of the National Assembly, Dr Barton Scotland refused to reverse a vote of No-Confidence passed against the APNU+AFC Government in the National Assembly on December 21, 2018.
Immediately, the Government is filing proceedings in the High Court to:
1) Stay the No-Confidence Motion on the grounds that 34 votes are needed to pass the motion by ‘majority’
2) To deem the vote by Charrnadass Persaud invalid given his dual citizenship
