No going back to Parliament

Attorney General Basil Williams SC and Former Attorney General Anil Nandlall

While Attorney General Basil Williams says that a “crisis situation” will result if the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) does not return to the National Assembly, his predecessor and PPP executive Anil Nandlall says government must absorb that blame as his party remains adamant that it will not be returning to the House.

“The truth is that the Eleventh Parliament of Guyana expired when the life of the Government expired,” Nandlall yesterday told Stabroek News.

“So constitutionally, there is no longer a lawful parliament to which the Opposition can return. Again, as much as they would deny responsibility for this disaster, history will properly hold them responsible,” he added.
