Government will soon be looking to the courts to rectify what Attorney General, Anil Nandlall,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, has described as a “constitutional enigma” which he claims characterises the ruling of the Speaker of the National Assembly, Raphael Trotman.Trotman ruled to allow the opposition to cut the national budget. The Attorney General insisted yesterday that the Speaker’s ruling has collided with an express pronouncement from the court.Attorney General Anil NandlallAccording to Nandlall too, the Speaker in his ruling “essentially conferred upon himself a jurisdictional freedom to depart from a ruling of the court and that is a power that he simply does not have.“His ruling therefore has presented this nation with a constitutional enigma…how we will unravel this enigma we are not sure…but what I know is that the constitutional anomaly which the Speaker’s ruling has created has far and deep reaching implications way outside of the budgetary process.”His remarks which came when he spoke at a People’s Progressive Party (PPP) press conference at the party’s Freedom House Headquarters, follows several cuts of the national budget earlier this week as part of the consideration of the estimates.This development, according to Nandlall, is directly linked to the ruling of the Speaker which, he said, is “an anomalous state of affairs which has to be dealt with swiftly.”“…Recourse will have to be taken in the court to rectify what I consider to be, with the greatest of respect, a constitutional errata – a wrong, not only because of what is happening in Parliament but for the constitutional democracy of this country; for peace, order and good governance…”According to the Attorney General the problem that obtains is one whereby one arm of the State that has confined and defined responsibility is almost violently encroaching into the domain of another and therefore cannot be allowed to continue in a democracy.Corrective measure is an absolute necessity, as according to Nandlall,Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic, while last year Government was able to restore cuts such as those that were instituted against the National Communication Network and the Government Information Agency,Cheap NFL Jerseys, the difference this year is that “we actually have a ruling from the honourable Speaker of the National Assembly governing this matter and that is the distinguishing factor.”The ruling, he said, has put the constitutional structure of the country in some form of disarray even as he pointed out that even lay people are cognisant that the constitution is supreme and the parliament,NFL Jerseys China, the executive, everyone else and every other agency of state are subjected to that supremacy.Nandlall explained that in that constitutional formula the court is ascribed the responsibility exclusively to interpret the Constitution; a move he insisted must be regarded as the final pronouncement on any matter gaining its attention.Moreover,Cheap Jerseys China, Nandlall noted that any such matter should no longer be open to any other agency in the land to, in an institutional way, offer another ruling or an interpretation that is different from that which emanated from the court.Had the court ruling not been binding, Nandlall noted that the executive could have itself placed an interpretation on the constitution that it finds favourable in the same vein that the Speaker interpreted it to say that the National Assembly has the power to cut the budget.“The executive can today or tomorrow decide that they determine that very provision to mean that the National Assembly does not have the power to cut. So you have these three vital organs of State each having an opinion of their own as to what the constitution says,” stressed Nandall.He noted, too, that it is for the avoidance of such eventualities that the constitution reposes only in the court that responsibility. As such he added that “the court system has in it a hierarchical mechanism that allows any person who may be aggrieved by any interpretation given by the court on any given matter to utilise that mechanism to challenge that ruling; that did not happen here.”
