Rohee resigns from Privileges Committee
Minister of Legal Affairs and Attorney General (AG), Anil Nandlall has dispatched a letter to the Clerk of the National Assembly Sherlock Isaacs, in which he called for the meeting of the Committee of Privileges to be ‘aborted permanently’ or be ‘adjourned indefinitely’.
He said that he is “impelled to the view that a decision now for the Privileges Committee to consider the issues slated for consideration is one which is designed to circumvent, ignore and disregard the pronouncements of the Honourable Chief Justice, and one that is contaminated with ulterior motives”, hence the call for the meeting to be aborted.
The letter states that Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee has resigned from the Parliamentary Privileges Committee, following advice from AG Nandlall.
Chief Justice (ag) Ian Chang recently ruled that Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee has a right to speak in the National Assembly as an elected member, but the Speaker has in effect stymied this order.
The letter further states that a meeting of the Committee of Selection should be summoned to consider a replacement for Minister Rohee for the Committee of Privileges in respect of the matters at hand. (GINA)
