A member of the Constitution Reform Commission (CRC) yesterday called for a postponement of Monday’s debate on the Constitution Amendment Bill, 2014 and has taken issue with certain statements by Attorney General Anand Ramlogan. In a strongly worded statement to the Express, author, activist and retired University of the West Indies (UWI) lecturer Dr Merle Hodge described Government’s proposal for the controversial run-off ballot as “anti-democratic” and a contradiction of “the principle of proportional representation”. On a point of accuracy, Hodge said the right of recall “did not crop up belatedly in the follow-up consultations as claimed by the AG” on yesterday’s Morning Edition on TV6. ***** The AG said that with a straight face, if that is possible******
