The letter was read by Prime Minister Samuel Hinds today. President Ramotar said “I am calling on the Parliamentary Political parties and their representatives in the Parliamentary Special Select Committee to do all that is possible to complete the review of the Bill and return it to the National Assembly expeditiously”.
