Trinidadian opposition leader to file no confidence motion

As the governing coalition People’s Partnership gets ready to celebrate its third anniversary in office, Trinidad and Tobago’s Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley says he will be filing a motion of no confidence against the government.
A brief statement from the Office of the Opposition Leader gave no details as to the reasons behind the move, but the motion requires a 12-day notice and takes priority over all parliamentary business.
If the motion gets the nod from Speaker Wade Mark, it will be the second motion of no confidence in the government of Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar which came to power in 2010.
Dr Rowley had also filed a motion of no confidence against Attorney General Anand Ramlogon.
Both motions were defeated.
