Claims and counter claims surrounding Opposition members with justification missing out on the Budgetary Finance Committee meeting yesterday.
Holding a News Conference this morning in response to comments made by the Government MP’s during their News Conference on the matter, Opposition MP, Dr. Clarice Modeste, says they were treated unfairly, with the government changing dates from the original schedule without necessary consultation.
The issue has triggered claims and counter claims, in thinking about the upcoming all-important budgetary process.
Yesterday a release was sent out by the Opposition outlining objection to the attitude of the Government in initiating a change to the considered original schedule.
The issue has been brought to the attention of the public, with Dr. Modeste saying that all attempts were made for things to be rectified and the government was not receptive.
Yesterday, the Prime Minister said they will continue to press on.
Among other things, Opposition MP, Peter David, believes the mutual feeling on the business of Parliament is being thrown out the window.
Concerning comments that the Opposition has abdicated their responsibility, Opposition Leader, Dr. Keith Mitchell had this to say.
