UNC file no-confidence motion on Baboolal

THE OPPOSITION United National Congress (UNC) yesterday filed a motion of no confidence in Senate President, Dr Linda Baboolal.

The motion filed by Opposition Senator Robin Montano is the first ever motion of no confidence against a Senate president. In response to Baboolal’s reading of the “riot act” on Tuesday, the UNC yesterday said the ruling “has brought the Senate into disrepute”. The Opposi-tion also accused Baboolal of being partisan. However the Senate President responded that her comments were directed at all senators and therefore cannot be construed as partisan.
