Georgetown: The 2014 Appropriation Act, which was passed in the National Assembly on April 16, was assented to by Acting President, Samuel Hinds on Tuesday evening.
This was confirmed by Attorney-General (AG) and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, said that the Act was signed in the prescribed time.
“The Appropriation Act was assented to by the Prime Minister, performing the functions of the President, within the time prescribed, and sent to the Clerk of the National Assembly,” he said.
The Clerk of the National Assembly, Sherlock Isaacs, forwarded the Act for approval to the Office of the President only last Friday, April 25.
According to the AG, the current Administration is “still considering” the available options, in terms of movement forward, having regard to the portions of the Budget which were not approved by the Opposition.
Last year, the combined Opposition cut the Budget by $31B; and in 2012 by $21B.
