WATCH: Opposition members walks out of Parliament

12 February 2023 - 17:52

In a very surprising move, Opposition MPs walked out of Parliament while the government side was attempting to make amendments to the Port Authority Act to allow for the sale of the Russian Superyacht moored in the Falmouth Habour for over one year now.

During Parliament, Prime Minister Gaston Browne sought to suspend the standing orders to debate the amendment bill, as he says it was a matter of immediate public importance.

But Jamal Pringle took issue with the suspension of the standing orders and asked the Speaker to rule against it.

The Speaker agreed with the government and Pringle exited the Parliament with his opposition colleagues.
