With all of the uncertainties surrounding the makeup of Guyana’s 10th Parliament, where the Combined Opposition controls the vote, one thing is clear.
Clerk of the National Assembly, Sherlock Isaacs, is clear that he is “unclear” on the way forward on the Parliamentary demands made of the Government.
Isaacs told Caribbean Trakker that the House had always operated under the premise that the Parliamentary Resolutions are “binding.”
The Parliamentary Resolutions may very well not be binding and he is currently soliciting external assistance on the matter.
He identified soliciting assistance from the Clerk of Trinidad and Tobago’s Parliament, Jackie Sampson.
The Trinidad and Tobago’s Parliament, falls within the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association of which Guyana is also a member.
The matter has been brought to the fore as a result of the refusal of the Guyana Government to abide with the resolutions in an Opposition motion on State Assets.
In that motion on State Assets the House has already approved a Resolution that monies be provided for an independent probe of NICIL as well as the full disclosure of information related to privatization deals among a host of other measures.
The Guyana Government’s Legal Advisor in the form of Attorney General, Anil Nandlall, says that there is “nothing in law” to compel the Government to abide with any of the Resolutions/Demands.
