The Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) plans to re­fer At­tor­ney Gen­er­al John Je­re­mie to Par­lia­ment’s Priv­i­leges Com­mit­tee over com­ments he made dur­ing a “hot mic” mo­ment in the Low­er House on No­vem­ber 21.

Speak­ing at an Op­po­si­tion me­dia brief­ing to­day, Chief Whip Mar­vin Gon­za­les said the re­fer­ral has be­come nec­es­sary, de­clar­ing that it is time for AG Je­re­mie to be ex­posed for what he de­scribed as his per­sis­tent use of deroga­to­ry lan­guage in Par­lia­ment.

Gon­za­les said on Fri­day the AG said to some­one in the House, “Hush your mouth boy, why you ain't take your lit­tle man?”
