Stating that he will not be intimidated by “front yard or back yard bullies,” House Speaker Manzoor Nadir yesterday reprimanded Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon and fellow APNU+AFC member Sherod Duncan for publicly accusing him of showing bias in the National Assembly.
At the commencement of yesterday’s sitting, Nadir said that he had observed numerous breaches of the Standing Orders and parliamentary conventions, customs and practices since the conclusion of the previous sitting.
He cited Harmon’s appearance as a guest speaker on a show hosted by Duncan and where he said they both continued publicly criticising his decisions during the debate of the opposition-sponsored narcotics amendment bill and his refusal to allow a motion to debate the murders of Joel and Isaiah Henry
