House Speaker tells parliamentarians ‘Arrogance is a greater impediment to learning than a low IQ’

“Arrogance is the greater impediment to learning than a low IQ”, that’s according to Speaker of the House Alix Boyd Knights as she told members of parliament to be humble in order to learn.
Speaking at the beginning of the 7th Meeting of the 1st Session of the 9th Parliament on Monday morning, she stated that many parliamentarians do not take the time to learn the Standing Orders of the House.
The speaker reminded members of parliament that despite being elected by the people, parliamentarians are still subject to the rules of the house, therefore members would be wise to pay heed to the rules.
