BAIN and Grants Town MP Dr Bernard Nottage came under heightened scrutiny from his parliamentary colleagues yesterday after he appeared to become momentarily disoriented while addressing House Speaker Dr Kendal Major.
Dr Nottage, 71, had risen to adjourn the House but instead took a seconds-long pause that did not break until Dr Major prompted him.
Minutes earlier, the leader of government business in the House of Assembly appeared to slur his words when setting a date for adjournment of the lower chamber to February 5.
He repeated the word, February, several times with a smile acknowledging his earlier mispronunciation.
Upon leaving the lower chamber, numerous MPs expressed concern for Dr Nottage given the peculiar nature of his actions during such a routine exchange.
However, all parliamentarians declined to speculate publicly over the closing moments of the House.

I said it before, this man has no idea that he is an MP or what he is supposed to do on a daily basis. He lost the plot several years ago and should be led out to pasture. I believe that he and Perry have had many, many strokes over the last few years that have led to their mental incapacity.

interesting theory to explain the narcissistic insanity - but they have been criminally crooked for a long time if anything the strokes only made them much worse......

People always look at Nottage and the first thing that pops into their head is a question mark. It will be sad to watch him on the election trail.

Sounds like he had a mild stroke. . .was living in St. Thomas, the US Virgin Island some years ago when a radio announcer had a stroke on the air and it sounded just like how Mr. Nottage behaved in the HOA. . . or. . .sad to say, its the early stages of "oldi-timers". .. .
