OFF THE CUFF: National Assembly carnival hangover
National ASSEMBLY deputies were lampooned this week for being asleep at, or missing from, their posts after a week off, to celebrate carnival.
The lethargy seems to have infected the credentials committee which has once again postponed discussion of complainta against chief Supreme Court Judge Jose Ayu Prado.
PRD deputy Zulay Rodríguez was to present a report on whether or not accumulate into one file the dozen odd complaints against the controversial magistrate..
However, La Prensa reports that she has been given a new deadline March 9, to recommend the denial or admissibility of the complaints.
Rodriguez, who was previously under attack for having sat on files for 8 months and was called “irresponsible” by the committee chairman
said that the new deadline was “very limited”. Which has critics wondering how she got through law school.
