On Friday when Browne had completed delivering the price range, Lawyer-Normal Steadroy Benjamin moved a movement for the controversy to start at 9:30 a.m. native time on Monday.
Nevertheless, the opposition mentioned they had been in not in favour and as an alternative moved a counter movement that the controversy start on Thursday, December 21. They refused to budge from their place.
The federal government mentioned that the controversy needed to start early due to the unavailability of some ministers who can be travelling abroad on official enterprise.
Following the intervention of the Speaker, Sir Gerald Watt, the federal government’s compromise movement was put to the ground, calling on the controversy to begin on Tuesday.
All the federal government legislators current voted in favour, with the opposition sustaining its stance that the controversy ought to start on Thursday, at the same time as Opposition Chief Jamale Pringle mentioned the time interval is “unfair.”
