KINGSTON, Jamaica – Last Tuesday, Jamaica’s Prime Minister Hon. Bruce Golding admitted in the Jamaican Parliament that he had sanctioned the Jamaica Labour Party’s engagement of United States law firm Manatt, Phelps & Phillips to lobby the US administration in the ongoing extradition case of Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke, the reputed Tivoli Gardens don.
Golding met with JLP party executives in Ocho Rios, St Ann, today (Sunday, May 16) after meeting, over the past two days, with JLP officers, leaders of his West Kingston constituency, and the party’s parliamentary caucus.
After the meeting, Jamaica’s Prime Minister, Hon. Bruce Golding declared, he will not resign as prime minister of Jamaica.
Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) General Secretary Karl Samuda said Golding’s actions in the Manatt Phelps and Phillips affair do not “rise to the level that warrants a resignation”.
