It was expected to examine, advice, and report on the salaries, conditions of service, training and other matters pertaining to the improvement of the efficiencies of the performance of the public service and the well-being of the public servants.Teixeira in her motion notes that the report on the Commission of Inquiry into the Public Service was tabled in the National Assembly on May 24, last.Teixeira wants this report to be placed on the Order Paper for a Sitting of the House before the next recess so that its contents can be debated and recommendations made.As regards the motion on the contentious Parking Meter Project, this will be moved by Opposition Member, Irfaan Ali.In his motion, Ali notes that the Georgetown Mayor and City Council, represented by the Mayor and Town Clerk, have entered into a contractual arrangement with a company (Smart City Solutions) for the installation of Parking Meters inPPP Executive Member, Irfaan AliGeorgetown.He noted however that the Mayor and City Council has held no public consultations with national stakeholders or the citizens of the city. As such, the Parliamentarian states,

He also noted in his motion that the company contracted to implement the project has been proceeding, full steam ahead with its implementation plan, with aggressive promotion, importation of equipment and the hiring of staff.The Opposition member is of the firm belief that there are many legal hurdles and protocols to address,

AFC members, particularly their Party Leader, Ramjattan,

So it would be very difficult to see Ramjattan not supporting this motion on Friday. It will be a test of his credibility, ethics and morality,” he said.As for the Durban Park Development Jubilee Project, this will be taken before the House by PPP Executive Member, Juan Edghill.In his motion, Edghill says that no public disclosure or consultations were held with the citizens or national stakeholders. The Parliamentarian said that architectural designs and overall projected costs for its construction and completion were not made public.Importantly,
