Liburd: Speaker Michael Perkins in collusion with PM Harris

Basseterre, St. Kitts, January 25, 2018 – Parliamentary Representative for St. Christopher 2 (Central Basseterre), Hon. Marcella Liburd is of the firm view that Speaker of the National Assembly Michael Perkins is in collusion with the Team Unity Government of Prime Minister Dr. Timothy Harris.

“I say it repeatedly without fear that he is in collusion with the government and their political agenda, he is in collusion with them,” Liburd told WINNFM.

She said Speaker Perkins plunged the lawmaking body into disrepute by allowing the Attorney General Vincent Byron to read the full text of a civil suit his Chambers filed in the High Court involving the Leader of the Opposition, Rt. Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas knowing that the matter was sub judice.

MRS LIBURD GOOFED IN TRYING TO DEFEND DOUGLAS STUPIDITY

As I read a commentary by Mrs Willa Franks Liburd, I suddenly became alarmed as I wondered where Mrs Liburd was over the last seven years. Mrs Liburd, must have been dreaming and suddenly woken up, hasn’t she? Let me familiarize her on our parliamentary proceedings.

All parliament members in the past have always complied with the rules of the Speaker whether or not they are in agreement with it. Dr. Douglas was the only one who would have told the speaker, “well we gonna have to talk about this privately”. If a member doesn’t like what the Speaker has said then he/she should move on especially when the speaker asks him/her to move on. It is like in any sport, once the umpire or referee makes a decision the players must accept the ruling or decision and anything outside of that is considered as showing dissent and carries a monetary fine or suspension.
