Dear Editor,
My reaction to today’s meeting and the new low it reached towards the Chairperson of Parliament:
The business of parliament and the governing of the country were at the mercy of the opposition, since the coalition had lost one member. They knew that and took advantage.
As chair, my first priority was to restore a full parliament, all the insults notwithstanding.
The thinly-veiled charade by those MPs who should know better was not lost on the citizens of this country.
Ironic though, my actions dubbed today [Monday, April 1 – Ed.] by the opposition as “shady,” “hypocritical,” “illegal,” etc., etc, were lauded by some of the very same members of parliament, when I was on their side of the table, as brilliant, the best Chair ever.
And furthermore, I have, even when differing with the governor, always shown respect for the person and the office he holds. Not every opposition MP can say the same thing.
Sarah Wescot-Williams
Chairperson of Parliament
