Dave posted:Dual citizen gov’t ministers unlikely to be removed – Attorney General
Guyana’s Attorney General Basil Williams on Wednesday suggested that the four government ministers, who are dual citizens, would not be removed from the National Assembly.
He referred to several references by Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire in her decision on the no-confidence motion that dual citizen parliamentarians could only be removed from the House by an elections petition. The 28-days window within which to file an elections petition after the 2015 general and regional elections have long gone.
Correct. The 28-days period has long expired for the legislative members.
Hence, Charrandass Persaud vote and participation in parliament is/was valid at the December 2018 session for the no-confidence vote.
However, at the next election one should be cognizant of this issue and take actions within the 28-day period to remedy any situation.
