PHILIPSBURG:--- MP Wescot-Williams again challenges the legitimacy of the NA/UP Government, in the absence of any agreement that shows that at least 8 members are in support of this government.

Its total disrespect to the parliament and the people.

We can recall how the support of two new/additional members was announced at the end of June, more than 5 months ago.

In all of this, the appointment of a Tourism, Economic Affairs, Telecommunication, and Transportation minister remains shrouded in mystery, the MP added, and one can not help but wonder why Read more
