Speaker wrong and strong

[Sir X]

I do not know Valrie Curtis, but I know that she is an attorney-at-law, with almost 30 years experience serving the houses of parliament. The new House Speaker is an accountant, not a lawyer. I wonder whether this is a case where someone is asked to follow a course of action which they believe is not in accord with the law?

With the attorney general’s legal opinion now public, why has the letter of reprimand not been withdrawn? The Speaker gave instructions for the letter to be placed on the clerk’s personnel file, but the government claims it has not been so placed. Why has someone not been reprimanded for disregarding the directive of the Speaker?

Jelly back inna trouble , diss virago aguh carry dung the JLP. Fret not , Lazie & Sass will defen yuh. ..lol

[Sir X]

It is unfathomable why Mrs Holness displayed such stubbornness in refusing to release the attorney general’s opinions, when she had no such qualms doing so with those by the parliamentary counsel which, with respect to reports by the AuG, supported the Speaker’s insistence on delayed tabling.

Indeed, her explanation for relenting – fulfilling her “duty to provide clarity and and full understanding to the Jamaican people in public affairs” – stands in stark contrast with her actions in the first place. Clarity and transparency should have been of consideration from the beginning.
