Somewhere about the 2pm mark yesterday , A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and Alliance For Change (AFC) Parliamentarians in a special meeting with House Speaker Raphael Trotman and other Parliament officers, met in the Chambers of the Public Buildings (Parliament) to collective denounce the decision of HE President Donald Ramotar to prorogue a Sitting of the Parliament.

The President in a midday address to the nation announced his intention to suspend the National Assembly (for an indefinite period not exceeding six months) following the threats from the Combined Opposition of a No Confidence Motion against his Government.

In that meeting of the Speaker and Opposition MPs, here is what transpired.

Special Meeting in Guyana's Parliament 2014 - 11 - 10

Attended a press conference a few moments ago where the press corps were briefed on the Drop-In Center fire which claimed the lives of Joshua and Antonio George, ages two and four.

The press conference was carried by Social Protection Minister Volda Lawrence and Childcare and Protection Agency head, Ann Greene. I am still lost for words as to how much was and was not done. I will upload the entire press conference to my sound cloud and share to my FB page.
