In July 2012, when the debate on the Opposition’s no confidence motion against Minister Clement Rohee had begun, Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandlall had advised the National Assembly that only the President can remove a minister from office and that Article 183 of the Constitution states on what grounds such an official can be removed. He further advised that neither the Speaker nor the National Assembly has the power under the Constitution to deny an elected member of the National Assembly his right to speak in the House. |
