[size=10pt]However, one of the crucial issues at today’s sitting will be the election of the Committee of Selection ;
which has the responsibility of appointing the other parliamentary committees.
What makes the election of the Committee of Selection crucial is the fact that we have an unprecedented situation;
where the combined number of opposition seats is more than that of the ruling party
even though it has the single largest bloc of seats in the National Assembly.[/size]

[size=10pt]The late President and founder-leader of the People’s Progressive Party, Dr Cheddi Jagan had entitled his most famous publication :
‘ The West on Trial ’ :
perhaps someone could write another book entitled ‘The Parliament on Trial ’
because with this new and unprecedented configuration, it will surely be on trial........ :blank: [/size]
