On her Facebook page, Opposition Senator Jiyanti Lutchmedial slammed the late publication of the regulations.

She said the State Of Emergency might not have been properly thought out.

Senator Lutchmedial said the SOE appears to be “by vaps” as many questions remain unanswered.

She wants the government to say what powers will the police and/or army have and the limitations on the constitutional rights of citizens.

Ms. Lutchmedial is also asking for the regulations to be made public.

She believes the regulations should have been shared the moment the Prime Minister called the SOE on Saturday.
