Next sitting of National Assembly set for June 5
Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance Gail Teixeira has announced that the next sitting of the National Assembly will be held on June 5, 2026.
The minister made the announcement via a social media post.
Minister Teixeira also addressed recent comments made in the media by members of the diplomatic community regarding the sittings of Parliament.
The minister said it was regrettable that some ambassadors, embassies and high commissions did not first engage the government, as the ruling party in the National Assembly, to seek clarification on Parliament’s schedule before making public comments.
According to Minister Teixeira, had such engagement taken place, they would have been informed that a sitting of the National Assembly had already been scheduled for June 5.
She noted that Guyana values its friendships and partnerships with members of the diplomatic community, but stressed the importance of balanced engagement on matters relating to the country’s legislative agenda and parliamentary affairs.
Minister Teixeira said the government hopes this approach does not become the norm. She expressed the expectation that future engagement on parliamentary matters will be “more profound and respectful.”
