Deputy Speaker and opposition member Lenox Shuman on Friday evening endorsed the proposed 2021 national budget even as he sounded the call for the opposition to operate with integrity and hold the government accountable.
During his presentation yesterday during the continuing budget debate at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre, the opposition parliamentarian called on other opposition members to up their game and conduct themselves with integrity.
“The PAC, Public Accounts Committee, now becomes the focal point of accountability and we must conduct ourselves with integrity if we are to be taken seriously. They are the government and we are the opposition and as the opposition if we do not want our slip to show we cannot slip” he said.
