BRUCE U A JOKER

Orette Bruce Golding is fighting for his political life.
Bruce wats the deal?

Golding, 62, is at an age where Jamaican prime ministers are like roses in the garden, just getting ready to bloom
Now facing the challenge of his life, Golding is also confronted by the now popular Jamaican saying of 'cock mouth kill cock'.


His utterances in regard to the Manatt, Phelps & Phillips issue, in which he revealed to Parliament last Tuesday his knowledge of a move to retain the US law firm to assist the JLP with extradition case of Christopher 'Dudus' Coke, the reputed Tivoli Gardens don. Originally denying knowing anything about it, again threw the spotlight on him.
. 
Golding, in his defence, said that he was connected to the matter in his capacity as JLP leader and not as prime minister. He had forgotten that in 2006 at the height of the decision by the Dutch firm Trafigura to give US$30,000 to the PNP to assist with its campaign for the 2007 general election, he had vigorously dispatched a suggestion that the PNP point man in that matter, Colin Campbell, then a Cabinet minister, was acting on behalf of the party and not the Government.
