KINGSTON, Jamaica — Opposition Leader of Government Business Phillip Paulwell has agreed to meet with Government representatives on Monday, following Tuesday’s heated confrontation in the House of Representatives, which involved exchanges of profanity and allegations of misconduct.
Responding to an invitation from House Speaker Juliet Holness, Paulwell welcomed the proposed meeting but expressed concern and disappointment over the tone of her letter.
Citing what he described as deep-rooted distrust in Parliament, Paulwell said it could only be overcome if everyone recognises the essential role the Opposition plays in preserving democracy.
