Former Prime Minister Edison James raises concerns about the inequitable treatment in the parliamentary proceedings. He points out the disparity in time allocation for opposition members versus government members during presentations. He cites instances where the speaker has shown favoritism, such as granting extra time to the Minister of Health while denying a request for extended time from an opposition member to respond. James also highlights previous situations where the speaker-initiated motions against opposition figures while being lenient towards government members. James further expresses concern about what he sees as the manipulation and over-reaching by the speaker, leading to an erosion of democratic principles within the parliament. He believes that if these trends persist, it could lead to the continuous weakening of democratic institutions, beginning with the parliament itself. Former Prime Minister Edison James.
