Yes­ter­day, Ford said: "It is con­sid­ered a se­ri­ous mat­ter. We view it as an at­tempt to di­vert at­ten­tion from the re­al is­sues."It is a de­lib­er­ate at­tempt to cre­ate a con­tro­ver­sy be­tween the Speak­er and the Op­po­si­tion. The Op­po­si­tion has not been treat­ed equal­ly."But de­spite the chal­lenges, he said the Op­po­si­tion would con­tin­ue to high­light is­sues in­clud­ing the Resh­mi Ram­nar­ine fi­as­co, and what was de­scribed as At­tor­ney Gen­er­al Anand Ram­lo­gan's "out­landish be­hav­iour."Among the PNM MPs who spoke on the Bill were Mal­oney MP Ali­cia Hospedales, St Ann's East's Joanne Thomas and La Brea rep­re­sen­ta­tive Fitzger­ald Jef­frey.The Bill was even­tu­al­ly passed af­ter go­ing to Com­mit­tee.
