Jamaican [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Prime [COLOR=blue !important]Minister[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] Bruce Golding has uttered another inconsistency as the controversy continues over the Manatt affair.
Speaking yesterday on the JIS programme, A conversation with the Prime Minister, Golding said the US law-firm Manatt, Phelps and Phillips was hired to avoid a stalemate with America over the Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke extradition request.
However, in May when the Prime Minister told Parliament that he had sanctioned the Manatt initiative, he said the move was to resolve not avoid a treaty dispute the US.
The prime minister’s utterance has raised more concern that there has not been full disclosure about the Manatt Affair, an issue he says has been the most challenging in his 30-year political career.
The Government has been insisting that Manatt was hired by the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) last year and not the administration.
However, Manatt has maintained that it was representing the Jamaican [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Government[/COLOR][/COLOR].
Interest was reignited in the Manatt affair three Sundays ago, when The Gleaner published email correspondences between Manatt, local attorney Harold Brady and the Solicitor General, Douglas Leys.
The email correspondences revealed that Manatt was representing the Government.
Following the [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]development[/COLOR][/COLOR] the Umbrella Group of Jamaican Churches met with Golding for him provide an explanation.
Days after the meeting, the church group issued a release saying it was not satisfied with Golding’s explanation about the Manatt matter.
On Friday, the spokesperson for the group Rev Lenworth Anglin revealed that during talks with the Prime Minister, Golding said he was willing to consider a commission of enquiry into the Manatt matter.
