Kamla Persad-Bissessar led an opposition walkout from Parliament Friday afternoon to protest the refusal of the Speaker to allow two motions proposed by the opposition.
Both called for Parliament to debate matters of urgent public importance. One was the failure of the government to provide timely access to the Children's Life Fund; the other for debate on the unprecedented number of murders in the country.
The Opposition Leader wanted to hold the media briefing inside the parliament's briefing room on the sixth floor of the building but was refused permission on the grounds that no such activity should take place while Parliament was sitting on the second floor.
