Dissolving Parliament would render the Cabinet ineffective
DEAR EDITOR,
According to the Guyana Constitution under the Section 50, the Supreme organs of democratic power in Guyana shall be:
(1) the Parliament
(2) the President and,
(3) the Cabinet
Further, Article 106 (2) states that, “The Cabinet shall aid and advice the President in the general direction and control of the Government and shall be collectively responsible therefore to Parliament”.
In my view, dissolving Parliament would more or less indirectly trigger compliance to Article 106 (6) of the Constitution (the Cabinet including the President shall resign if the Government is defeated by the vote of a majority of all the elected members of the National Assembly on a vote of confidence) by rendering the Cabinet (council of ministers) ineffective and devoid of such parliamentary responsibility forthwith.
Sincerely yours,
Paul Ramrattan
