00:00Therefore, I think what is happening is a lot of noise and a lot of mischief, but if

00:05we are to follow the constitution and what it says, then we would have a clearer appreciation

00:12for what is to follow.

00:13Mr Morris said, signatures or not, once the Prime Minister resigns, the President would

00:18act.

00:19Of course, if there are signatures or parliamentarians pledging support, that perhaps would help

00:27the President in coming to a decision as to who has the support of the majority.

00:36However, ultimately, the decision is the sole discretion of the President as per the constitution.

00:45Mr Morris referenced the passing of former Prime Minister Dr Eric Williams.

00:50When Dr Williams passed away suddenly in 1981, the President was called to make a decision

00:59then and there.

01:01And of course, various factors would have, or based on the history of it, what I learned

01:08is that the President may have consulted one person or so and then made a decision.

01:14Mr Morris said the noise from outside factors is an attempt to cause chaos and confusion

01:20within the PNM.

01:21The noise that is coming is really noise of mischief and those opposed to the People's

01:28National Movement are to create instability and to distable the party.
