Debate on PPP/C confidence motion against gov’t unlikely before mid-December

Prime Minister of Guyana Moses Nagamootoo

The opposition PPP/C’s no-confidence motion against the government will not be debated in the National Assembly before mid-December, according to Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo, who maintains that it has no chance of succeeding.

“It is not a viable motion. It is a motion that is bred out of desperation… opposition frustration, by opportunism to look forward to the new wealth of Guyana and trying to destablise our beautiful country,” Nagamootoo said during a live stream on the Department of Public Information’s Facebook page.

During the 12-minute broadcast, Nagamootoo assured that the government has every intention to debate the motion and pointed out that it will not run away as the PPP/C did when he filed a no-confidence motion against its government in 2014.
