The PPP still awaits some form of communication from the Speaker in response to its letters to him with regard to conflict of interest and pecuniary interests of two AFC Members of Parliament, Mrs. Cathy Hughes and Mr. K. Ramjattan, in relation to matters before the National Assembly.

The PPP has indicated through its Chief Whip that it intends to bring a motion to take Mrs. Cathy Hughes to the Committee of Privilege under Standing Order 32.

 

Mrs. Hughes’ company was hired to handle the Public Relations for Sithe Global, one of the companies working with the government on the Amaila Falls Hydro Project. Her husband, Mr. Niles Hughes was the company secretary of the Amaila Falls Hydro- Project Inc.

 

Neither of these pecuniary interests was voluntarily made public at the time of the debates on the first Hydro-Electric Bill and the Debt Ceiling motion which were defeated nor on the second Hydro-Electric Bill which was passed and debt ceiling motion which were amended by the AFC.

 

The House and the public had a right to be informed by Mrs. Hughes of the pecuniary interest that she had in the matter and she had a duty under the item of “Personal Explanation” on the Order Paper at the time of her involvement and benefits from such an engagement. In the absence of this public disclosure she should have recused herself from participation in the vote on both issues.

 

Furthermore, Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan ‘s client Fedder Lloyd placed a bid for the tender of the Specialty Hospital in 2012 and Mr. Ramjattan supported in the House the budgetary allocation for the said Hospital. However, in 2013 when his client lost the bid Mr. Ramjattan voted against the allocations for the said Hospital.

 

Mr.Ramjattan did not publicly declare his pecuniary interest at either time and is therefore in violation of Standing Order 107 which states that “No Member shall appear before the Assembly or any Committee thereof as Counsel or Solicitor for any party or in any capacity for which he or she is to receive a fee or reward.” At no time did Mr.Ramjattan recuse himself from voting on the budgetary allocations for the Specialty Hospital.

Would seems as if the Corrupt PPP/C is on a witch hunt, because of Ash Knee shoving his dirty hands into the taxpayers cookie jar.

 

The speaker will deal with that matter of Cathy and Ramjattan when he is ready to, and not before, just like the Corrupt PPP/C had twently something years to deal with LGE and they screwed up big time.
