Autre déclaration du Speaker du Parlement concerne les critiques du député rouge Patrick Assirvaden contre l’Acting Clerk et les officiers de l’Assemblée Nationale.
My second announcement is in regard to the Statement made in the Media by some Opposition Members, in particular, Hon Assirvaden on Tuesday 30 April 2024 following the incident which arose in the Office of the Clerk regarding the modalities for the drawing of lots for the ranking of Parliamentary Questions for today’s sittings.
Hon Assirvaden is reported to have insinuated that there was “trucage, mardaye and magouille” in the balloting process.
As Speaker, I strongly condemn the manner in which the Hon. Member publicly attacked the integrity of the Acting Clerk and the officers of the National Assembly, in particular lady officers, in the performance of their duties.
I leave this highly condemnable behaviour on the part of the Hon. Member to the appreciation of Hon. Members and the public at large.
