Opposition Chief Whip Gail Teixeira has voiced dissatisfaction with the number of sittings of the National Assembly since the APNU+AFC government took office in 2015, saying that the government’s legislative agenda has proven to be “extraordinarily thin,” while her party is being bullied with regards to its rights.
Speaking at a press conference at the Office of the Leader of the Opposition last Saturday, Teixeira said that between June 10, 2015, and August 4, 2017, there were 70 sittings, almost half of which dealt with matters related to the budget.
