PHILIPSBURG: --- A motion of disapproval tabled in Parliament today failed to secure a majority, but the political maneuvering behind the vote has sent an unmistakable signal to the government. While Prime Minister Dr. Luc Mercelina survived the challenge, the debate underscored growing frustration over unresolved issues plaguing the country’s emergency services.
The final tally saw five Members of Parliament voting in favor of the motion, seven voting against, and three MPs absent from the proceedings.
