Georgetown : The Alliance for Change (AFC) today says the party remains firmly committed to the parliamentary vote of no-confidence in Clement Rohee as Minister of Home Affairs.
Whilst Speaker Trotman ruled that he cannot prevent Rohee from speaking, the AFC says their parliamentarians reserves the right not to hear him.
“We are dismayed that the minister continues to give a stiff back to the majority of Members of the Parliament, who have lost confidence in him as Minister of Home Affairs.
The AFC would not sit mutely in Parliament and allow Rohee to arrogantly look us in the face and say that the people’s votes don’t count, and that he could flout the decision of the majority “ a party statement says.
The AFC believes that Rohee has failed as Minister of Home Affairs to exercise general supervision and control over the security forces which, over many years, resulted in loss of lives, both at the hands of bandits and by bullets from trigger-happy cops.Rohee has to take responsibility, and resign.
Meanwhile Government Members of Parliamentlast evening strongly condemned the Parliamentary Opposition’s disregard for the ruling of the Speaker of the House that Minister Clement Rohee is allowed to perform his duties as Minister of Home Affairs in the National Assembly.
After the Speaker announced his ruling this afternoon and Minister Rohee rose to make his presentation, the members of the Opposition benches prevented him from doing so on two occasions leading to the adjournment of the sitting until November 22.
