Former speakers agree that opposition should not have involved the court in motion of no confidence

Jun 05, 2013

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, CMC – The former speaker of the Grenada parliament George McGuire says opposition legislators in St. Kitts-Nevis “played right into the hands of the Prime Minister” when they filed court action to force the Parliament to debate a motion of no confidence.
McGuire, speaking on Winn FM radio here, said that issues relating to the parliament should have been dealt with by the parliament itself rather than the courts and is urging the opposition legislators to seek a dialogue with the Speaker.
"I believe that the next step should be for the Members of Parliament to get together and to seek an audience with the Speaker. In dialoguing one can look at ways of overcoming the difficulties," he told radio listeners.
