Just over a month after he resigned as Leader of the Opposition, Joseph Harmon has now signalled his intention to resign from the National Assembly altogether.
Clerk of the National Assembly Sherlock Isaacs told Sunday Stabroek that he received Harmon’s letter on Thursday. While some are saying that it was a resignation letter, Isaacs begged to differ.
“The letter was sent to the Speaker [Manzoor Nadir] on Thursday and he forwarded me a copy. It informed of Mr Harmon’s intention to resign by March 14 [2022]. I would not consider that a resignation because a letter of resignation would sound like ‘I hereby submit my resignation effective so and so’ or ‘I hereby resign’ etc,” the Clerk said.
