The twenty-eight (28TH) sitting of the Consultative Forum of the Turks and Caicos Islands, got off to a late start at the N.J. Francis building in Grand Turk today, where Chairperson Mrs. Lillian Missick
in her statement, encouraged all in the Turks and Caicos Islands to look towards 2012 with optimism and hope, which she said would generate into happiness and prosperity.
Mrs. Missick said however that much of this would depend on the Forum, especially as it is having difficulty getting His Excellency Governor Ric Todd to honor his inaugural promises.
Meanwhile, the two bills that were deferred from the Consultative Forum’s final sitting on the 13th December 2011 and which were again tabled for today’s sitting, were again deferred, much to the
shock and dismay of forum members. The decision to defer the bills, was announced by the Attorney General Hue Shephard. That exchange took place in this morning’s sitting of the Consultative Forum, where two bills, although referred to the forum by His Excellency the Governor at its December 2011 meeting and which
were deferred, were at the last minute again deferred today, as according to the Attorney General, they had not as yet gone before the Advisory Council.
