Harmon writes speaker on illegal appointed Parliamentary Secretaries

Opposition leader, Joseph Harmon upped the pressure on the speaker to remove the two MP’s who the High Court ruled were illegally appointed. However, the speaker of the National Assembly is still to address the matter.
 In a letter to Speaker Manzoor Nadir, Harmon said he has received no correspondence or seen any public announcement that the ruling of Chief Justice Roxanne George with respect to Mr. Vickash Ramkisson and Sarah Browne have been obeyed. May I remind you, that her ruling was that these two persons were illegally appointed and are not eligible to serve as Members of Parliament in the National Assembly. For the third time a certified copy of her ruling is being brought to your attention.
Harmon reminded the speaker that the fact that there is no indication that he has carried out the instructions of the court and the Chief Justice is of grave concern not only to the APNU+AFC coalition, but to others in the wider society as well.
Failure to act in accordance with the ruling of the court would also be afoul of the Standing Orders of the National Assembly and the Constitution of Guyana.
If in fact you have not obeyed the ruling, I call on you to remedy the situation and to make public the action you have taken especially before the sitting of Parliament scheduled for tomorrow June, 10th 2021
