As places of business in the public and private sectors adopt and enforce the new requirement of showing proof of vaccination against COVID-19, Leader of the Opposition, Joseph Harmon, yesterday said he intends to request a Parliamentary discussion on “Mandatory Vaccination” during today’s sitting.

In a statement issued yesterday, Harmon said he plans to ask the Speaker of the National Assembly to allow a discussion on “what is obviously a matter of urgent, definite public importance.”

“The nation needs a clear sense of what is happening, what the plan is and to see political, religious and civic leaders working in tandem. The Coalition is once again saying that it is ready, willing and able to be engaged and believes that Churches and other Civil Society stakeholders should be given a voice in the process as well,” the Opposition Leader declared.
