May 1 is the new deadline for the final report of the Disciplined Forces Commission, which was granted an extension by the National Assembly yesterday.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Reepu Daman Persaud moved the motion for the extension sought by the commission, which is still to hold further hearings in Berbice and is also awaiting additional information to inform the final report.
The motion was approved unchallenged by members of the Assembly, which did not include representatives of the main opposition PNCR which boycotted the sitting.
