Public Relation’s Officer of the People’s National Movement Faris Al Rawi has said that the Constitutional Amendment Bill came like a thief in the night.
The Bill was introduced in Parliament by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar on Monday.
It includes changes to the Parliamentary system by having fixed terms for a Prime Minister, the right to recall Members of Parliament and a run-off vote.
Mr. Al Rawi said it closely resembles the section 34 fiasco.
The PNM PRO said that the Bill has to be examined carefully before the party can decide whether it will lend its support.
However he added that he is deeply disturbed that no information was presented to the opposition prior to the introduction of the Bill.
