King seemed most disappointed.
“Dr. Kissoon was someone that I supported and confided in… I personally was inspired by what she represented.
“Even though I am deprived of my responsibilities, duties and obligation to represent that seat… I am not injured,” she said.
King believes, however, that there is still time for Dr. Kissoon to “do the right thing.”
General Secretary Jonas was more concerned about the motives for Dr. Kissoon’s actions and questioned the silence of other political parties that stood for democracy in 2020.
“What is it that makes an intelligent person expose their character?” he quizzed.
He said two Bills are to be piloted by Dr. Kissoon and though he described them and insipid, said it even more without value unless she gets the support of the government that holds the majority in the House.
And so, with Dr. Kissoon holding the 32nd seat in the 65-seat legislature, the party concludes that whatever she does going forward, it is “water on duck back.”
