Mark: Government gone mad

OPPOSITION Senator Wade Mark has accused Public Administration Minister, Dr Lenny Saith, of being a “hatchet man”. Referring to Government’s decision to relocate the Parliament, Mark said it was Saith who brought the Cabinet note which said “that we have to move from here”. “An unelected person! What is he doing here?” Mark charged.

Saith casually countered: “Are you elected?” Mark, who was speaking in the Senate on Tuesday, said the Government had gone mad, “a government in full stride with no respect or regard for public opinion”. Earlier in the sitting Opposition Senator Robin Montano lamented that even the Speaker of the House, Barry Sinanan, was not consulted by the government before they made their decision.
