Georgetown : The Minister of Finance has tabled three financial papers that will be considered at the next sitting of the National Assembly on November 21, 2013. Finance Paper Number 1/2013, 2/2013 and 3/2013. After an initial review of these papers A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) warns that the Minister of Finance Dr. Ashni Singh has shown flagrant disrespect and contempt for the National Assembly.
The opposition party claims the Finance Minister has consistently exhibited such a pattern of disregard for resolutions passed by the National Assembly.
APNU notes that even though the National Assembly did not approve monies for certain agencies the subject Minister flagrantly disregarded the decisions taken by the legislative branch and unlawfully disbursed the funds. APNU pointed out the sums of monies that were not approved for the National Communications Network (NCN) and Government Information Agency (GINA), these sums and more were disbursed to these agencies by the Minister.
In the coming days APNU will provide in greater detail the instances of contempt found in the review of Financial Papers Number 1/2013 2/2013 and 3of 2013
APNU strongly advise that Financial Paper Number 1/2013 is contemptuous and the Minister of Finance Mr. Ashni Singh needs to be censured.
