As government moves to craft a bill for the creation of a broad-based commission to spearhead constitutional reform, Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandlall on Friday accused the opposition of shirking its responsibilities in the process.
Nandlall levelled the accusation yesterday following a meeting of the Standing Committee for Constitutional Reform from which almost all opposition members were absent.
The Committee is chaired by Nandlall and includes Minister of Education Priya Manickchand, Minister of Public Service Sonia Parag, Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Charles Ramson Jr and parliamentarian Sanjeev Datadin from the government side of the National Assembly, and Aubrey Norton, Khemraj Ramjattan, Raphael Trotman, and Amanza Walton-Desir from the opposition side.
