The Opposition has formally written to House Speaker Jagdeo Singh seeking clarification on allegations of bias involving parliamentary staff and concerns over the conduct of Leader of Government Business Barry Padarath.
In a letter signed by Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles and 12 other People’s National Movement (PNM) MPs, the Opposition said it learned through a newspaper report that complaints had allegedly been made about bias, partiality and professionalism among parliamentary staff, including claims that microphones used by Government members were muted during House proceedings.
The Opposition said it was not informed of any such complaints and is now requesting details on when they were made, who received them, whether investigations were carried out and what findings, if any, were reached.
