PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – As the coalition People’s Partnership gets ready to celebrate its third anniversary in office, Opposition Leader Dr. Keith Rowley says he is filing a motion of no confidence in the government.
A brief statement from the Office of the Opposition Leader gave no details as to the reasons behind the move, but the motion requires a 12-day notice and takes priority over all parliamentary business.
If the motion gets the nod from Speaker Wade Mark, it will be the second motion of no confidence in the government of Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar since it came to power by a 29-12 margin in the May 24, 2010 general election that had been called more than two years early by then prime minister Patrick Manning.
