The ruling party’s unwillingness to compromise on the nominee for the speakership left no room for any negotiations, AFC Chairman Khemraj Ramjattan said yesterday.
“All this bitterness that he being exhibited now by [President] Donald Ramotar and now by Ralph Ramkarran is more or less baseless. We pleaded with Mr. Donald Ramotar to ensure that an AFC person got the Speakership. He did not want [anything] but Mr. Ralph Ramkarran. So we thought negotiating with them would be like putting your head against a brick wall,” Ramjattan told a news conference,
