HEAD of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS), Dr. Roger Luncheon, said yesterday that at the most recent sitting of the National Assembly, the disregard of convention and abuse of parliamentary protocols continued “relentlessly undermining the sacred rule of Parliament.”     Speaking at his weekly post-Cabinet media conference at the Office of the President, Shiv Chanderpaul Drive, Georgetown, he declared:“The happenings merely confirmed Cabinet’s worst fears about the current evolution of this national institution.
“How else can the ongoing parliamentary activities be characterised?” he asked, adding that Guyanese are forced to accept the disrespect shown in the House and an assembly of MPs (Members of Parliament) “doing their own thing” to the extent that the constructive work of Parliament languishes.
Continuing, he said:“Irrationality is evident in the happenings in Parliament, combined with the cost of running Parliament that is also skyrocketing with the provision of goods and services increasing geometrically over that of previous years.”
