Opposition to go ahead with no confidence motion
Fireworks are expected in Parliament Tuesday with the Opposition slated to carry out its plan to table a no confidence motion against Prime Minister Bruce Golding.
Opposition Members were originally scheduled to present the motion in the House last week.
However, they decided to hold off as Parliament was preoccupied with issues relating to the unrest in the Corporate Area.
But after a one week reprieve, the Prime Minister will be in the hot chair when Parliament sits on Tuesday afternoon as the Opposition MP's have decided to proceed with the motion.
“It is our expressed intention to table the censure motion and we are expecting to have it debated. We didn’t think it appropriate to have ventilated that matter last week given all the circumstances and that was a decision taken by us,” Mr. Pickersgill said.
The Opposition members decided to move the motion against the Prime Minister following stunning revelations by Mr. Golding last month that he sanctioned the controversial dealings between US law firm Manatt, Phelps and Phillips and the Jamaica Labour Party.
