Chamber Writes Another Letter To PM
posted (September 9, 2016)
Today, the Prime Minister also said the Chamber did not reverse its position as was reported by Channel 5. Well, tonight, reports say the Chamber is sending him another scolding letter, basically, for speaking out of turn. Past President Arturo Tux Vasquez told us today that he was in that meeting, and what the PM said today, is not what was said yesterday:...

"I was at the meeting yesterday and really the Prime Minister today should be getting a letter from the chamber, whereby the chamber would really be explaining to him that following the meeting he had with them before where there was a suggestion of going along with the bicameral committee he had suggested. After we had got legal advice, it appears from the constitution that by doing a bicameral group like that would not be within the constitution and as a result the chamber has now decided that they will go towards and they have gone back to think that the senate select would be the best investigative body for this type of thing. So that's really where the chamber is. That's my understanding from the meeting that I attended yesterday."

"So the Prime Minister, he had another characterization of that meeting and how that idea was dealt with."

"Well yeah, I heard his press release and he said he spoke to the president and what he said is not what I got from that meeting."
