i take your point ..... they should have "accepted his resignation" long ago, however, having not done so, and being at this stage of negotiations where he is an obstacle to the policy direction they want to take what should they do?

continue with negotiations that are stymied from the get go?
capitulate and go with what he wants?
accept his resignation and start from there?

I take your point.

I just felt the timing was very unfortunate...pity we did not go into this with a solid front.

I think the PM's reason for the firing is a smokescreen because I don't think the GOJ is 100% idiotic...only partially so.

If it is indeed true that the guy was fired becuse of a pay package that they were aware of long ago....and fired in the middle of leading critical negotiations with the IMF...that would say to me that the GOJ is completely idiotic.

The pay issue is used as a pretext for the dismissal....at a critical time.

The real reason must be policy differences....that being the case he should have been fired lang lang time.

Again, the IMF issued a release Monday night. As far as they're concerned the negotiations are still going on.

According to the PM's presentation,

"Apart from the modest concession on the payment for rent, the Governor has remained adamant that the Bank's contractual obligations to him must be met. In a letter to the Minister dated Friday October 30th prior to his dismissal he stated in bold type "If the pacta sunt servanta principle which governs the sanctity of contracts is to have any meaning, the contract which I have signed with the Minister in accordance with statute should be observed". The letter goes on to say "If the contract is not to be observed then I would think that the law should take its course".

What Derrick needs to do is come out and dispute all the PM said. Omar admitted that the compensation was too high.


Now, until Derrick come out and give another angle, what evidence you have that its smokescreen?

That's where the partial stupidity comes in....because of the ridiculous timing of the firing...which led to a ratings downgrade.

Dem see what dem want to see...

My point is they would/should have known his positions before negotiations started....and if not agreeable to the GOJ ...he should have been dumped then....before the talks started.

This nonsense about him being dumped because of his salary package is just that...NONSENSE...a smokescreen.

It does get the public on their side though...those who can't think straight.

Huh,

Latti or not, Jam is FAR from safe.

THAT is the reality...farting around with personnel and signals is exactly the red herrings that we love to divert ourselves with.

I guess my scarcasm was lost.

[Don1]

the ONE plus is that it may tend to show the other side that you are serious, this depends on how the negotiations are going mind you.

the question i would ask is this, if it is your CHIEF negotiator and he is advocating a policy that is at odds with your plan, what should you do?!! it seems that at the last there may have been some inflexibility.

Betta to botch it and force financial reckoning day.

You seem to forget that we have been living a financial lie for 20+ years.

Dolly house HAD to mash up, as it was destroying Jamaica.

Claude Clarke talks sense.

Unfortunately the dolly house is STILL mashing up Jamaica...unless you feel we are the road to progress.

I don't believe we are on that road, we are lost!! ....the same nonsense obtains whether PNP or JLP is in power.
