ATTORNEY GENERAL John Jeremie will move a motion in Parliament today for the extension of the state of emergency (SoE) for a further period of three months.
On the Parliament’s Order Paper are two motions related to the SoE, which was declared by President Christine Kangaloo on the advice of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.
The SoE took effect from March 3, 2026.
The first motion is in the name of the Attorney General, where he will ask the House to take note of the statement by the President under Section 9(1) of the Constitution, setting out the specific grounds on which the decision to declare the existence of a state of public emergency was based.
