Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo needs to address behavioural challenges among his party’s parliamentarians as their actions in disrupting his speech to the National Assembly last month and last Monday’s ruckus in the House are disrespectful and vulgar, President David Granger says.
“I think that the treatment meted out to me on the 2nd of November was completely uncalled for and think the treatment meted out to the Speaker (on Monday) is completely uncalled for and I think that the Leader of the Opposition needs to deal with these cultural issues in his party,” Granger said yesterday at State House after accepting letters of credence for a new envoy.
As Granger last month delivered his address to the National Assembly, following its recess, opposition People’s Progressive Party/Civic MPs pulled out placards and began chanting which drowned out most of his speech.
