“We are bringing out the PPP top guns, the best of our leadership,” PPP/C’s Chief Whip Gail Teixeira said of the five opposition speakers slated to speak on the no-confidence motion against the APNU+AFC administration today.
Apart from Leader of the Opposition Bharrat Jagdeo, the other speakers were not identified. The session is set to last for at least eight hours with Jagdeo beginning the debate at 2pm and speaking for 45 minutes as provided for by Standing Order 38 (9).
Other speakers are allowed a maximum of 30 minutes unless the Speaker grants extensions of time for periods of 15 minutes following a motion moved for such extensions.
