The opposition APNU+AFC has submitted a motion to the Clerk of the National Assembly calling for Minister of Public Affairs Kwame McCoy to be suspended from the Assembly for six months over the recent allegations that he physically assaulted opposition parliamentarian Tabitha Sarabo-Halley and his conduct towards other opposition members.
The motion was submitted after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) advised the police that Speaker of the National Assembly Manzoor Nadir should use the Standing Orders of Parliament to address the assault complaint against McCoy.
Nadir told Stabroek News last evening that he is still unaware of this development as no official information on such advice has reached his office.
