Opposition Leader Ralph Gonsalves has publicly voiced alarm over what he describes as persistent obstruction of parliamentary accountability. Appearing on Star FM 98.3 this morning, Gonsalves revealed that three of his questions intended for oral response were dismissed by the Speaker as inadmissible.
He further noted that four additional questions submitted for written answers remain unanswered, stressing that written submissions are governed by different rules and should permit more detailed explanations.
In a decisive move, Gonsalves confirmed he has formally addressed the newly appointed Governor-General on the matter, declaring that he will not “lay down” or allow the issue to fade without challenge. His stance comes as the nation prepares for the upcoming parliamentary session scheduled for January 29th, 2026, where he insists accountability must be upheld.
