Former Jamaica Labour Party Member of Parliament, Derrick Smith, says he’s noticed increased disobedience from the Opposition in Parliament ever since Juliet Holness became House Speaker.
Smith was reacting to Tuesday’s eventful sitting of Parliament while speaking with host Chevon Campbell on Nationwide at Five on Thursday.
Speaker Holness told Nationwide she feels threatened by the conduct of some opposition members in Parliament.
She has also accused South West St. Andrew MP, Dr. Angela Brown Burke, of shoving her and calling her a coward as she left the chamber on Tuesday.
But Dr. Brown Burke says claims that she shoved Mrs Holness are lies. But she has admitted to calling her a coward.
Smith says Dr. Brown Burke should be held accountable for her actions on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Smith is also questioning Phillip Paulwell’s abilities as Leader of Opposition Business in the House.
Smith says he’s seen numerous instances of other opposition members usurping Paulwell in order to attack the Speaker.
