Opposition welcomes Manatt Enquiry

Go Jamaica….

Dudus The Opposition Peoples National Party (PNP) has welcomed the decision by Prime Minister Bruce Golding to set up a Commission of Enquiry into the handling of the extradition request for alleged west Kingston strongman Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke.

Yesterday, Golding told the House of Representatives that the Commission of Enquiry will also examine the Manatt affair.
The PNP says the move represents a significant step in repositioning Jamaica in the eyes of the world as a country where the rule of law is paramount.

The Opposition has consistently called for the Commission of Enquiry to provide the public with details of what took place during the extradition process.

The Opposition Leader, Portia Simpson-Miller says she looks forward to the meaningful consultation that is necessary to identify the membership of the commission and the terms of reference which will be critical to determine the truth of the issues involved.

According to her, the situation caused untold damage to Jamaica’s reputation among the community of nations, and pain, anguish and anxiety to Jamaicans at home and abroad.
