Georgetown: The National Assembly meets Wednesday for its last 2015 sitting as the House reconvened from last Thursday after an almost two-month break.
Based on the Parliamentary agenda, Finance Minister Winston Jordan is expected to move a motion after the National Assembly would have resolved itself into a committee of supply for the consideration of Financial Paper No. 1/2015 – Supplementary Estimates (Current and Capital) totaling $3,239,601,366 for the period 25th October, 2011 to 31st December, 2014.
In addition, Financial Paper No. 2/2015 – Statement of Excess (Current and Capital) totaling $6,471,145,418 for the period 1st January, 2012 to 16th June, 2014 will be considered.
Coming from the Opposition People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) benches, Member of Parliament Juan Edghill is expected to move a motion that requires all MPs to file annual income tax returns to the Guyana Revenue Authority in compliance with the Income Tax Act, Cap 81:01.
In the interest of transparency and accountability in public office, all MPs will be required to make available to the public their tax returns to the Guyana Revenue Authority for the last 10 years on or before December 31, 2015, if the motion succeeds.
In addition, PPP/C MP Joseph Hamilton is expected to table a motion that deals with Election Day violence which occurred on May 11, 2015.
