posted (December 9, 2016)
And while that wasn't the only attempt to get the Honorable Espat back into the house. While Musa tried to slide it in with Parliamentary finesse, party leader John Briceno opened up the sitting with a shot from the heart. Here's how that went:...

Hon. John Briceno, Leader of the Opposition
"I am appealing to you, to the acting and to the whip of the UDP, the honorable member from Mesopotamia - we've had some discussions in trying to find a way how to resolve this as quickly as possible."

Hon. Micheal Finnegan, UDP Party Whip
"This matter was being dealt with by me and the senior member from Fort George division. But the whole matter came to a halt because they wanted to go beyond the house and the matter was taken to the Supreme Court. I believe that if the matter did not go there, this matter would have been resolved by now."

Hon. Anthony "Boots" Martinez, UDP Port Loyola
"And for me, I want to make an appeal to this honorable house for to settle this thing as quickly as we could and Mr. Espat needs to understand that this is the national assembly and your behavior, I don't think like what the court decided, doesn't run the rules here."
