Mygripe There are many Jamaicans who think that the Manatt, Phelps & Phillips issue should be laid to rest. I’m one Jamaican who thinks the pressure should be kept on the government so as to get the whole truth. Many may say that the growth in the economy and the the reduction in crime should be making headlines and not the MPP issue. Rubbish! The government was elected to stabilise and grow the economy and also to address all national issues that affect the life of Jamaicans, including crime.
The government should not expect a pat on the shoulder to carry out these functions.
They should not expect the people to praise them for doing what they are supposed to do. The MPP issue is worth discussing so that the people of Jamaica can know the truth. Most Jamaicans believe MPP when they declared that they were engaged by the Government of Jamaica. Only the JLP seems to think otherwise. We all know that MPP will not lie to the US government due to the severe sanctions that will follow if they do. The engagement of MPP to lobby the US on behalf of allegedly the Western Hemisphere’s most notorious crimminal is worth discussing. It is the JLP government which refused to sign the extradition in the first place, and that led to mayhem in May. This MPP issue is a Jamaican matter, not a JLP nor PNP problem. The government and the JLP are not owners of this country. They are servants. The power lies in the hands of the Jamaican people and most of us are saying to the PM that all that he has said doesn’t add up. I’m not affiliated to any party. I’m a Jamaican who will continue to demand the truth from the Bruce Golding-led government. This MPP issue is not a nine-day wonder, it will be a hot topic until the truth is aired. Mygripe
