THE political gridlock that dogged the proceedings of the National Assembly in 2013 has left the Government dissatisfied with the level of progress it achieved in advancing its legislative agenda. Attorney General Anil Nandlall, at a press conference held yesterday at Freedom House, said: “No one in the PPP (People’s Progressive Party) can say we are satisfied.”
-----------------
He added that there are “constant and relentless” attempts to exceed the powers of the Legislature and encroach on the functional responsibilities of the Executive.-----------------
“All these are trespasses committed into the province of the Executive by the National Assembly seeking to expand their (the Opposition’s) role as they continue on the path of political vendetta. That is what the Parliament is being used for…this can never be the role conceived for the Parliament.”
The next election will determine whether this actions of the Opposition - PNC cum AFC - will continue again.
