Mrs Valerie Neita-Robertson, QC Caretaker Candidate Portland Western c/o The People’s National Party 89 Old Hope Road Kingston 6
Dear Mrs Neita-Robertson:
Re: Complaint against Mrs Valerie Neita-Robertson by Mr Daryl Vaz
Reference is made to previous correspondence herein and meetings held on 23rd July and on 28th July with you and Mr Daryl Vaz respectively.
The Social Media post of 3rd. July by Mr Vaz, “… Valerie Neita if you did spend as much time on your case with Court of Appeal as you do on Social Media …you would win something this year…am out…”,
and by you on 12th July, “…My time now…those who are speaking about court…remember I have not been before a court except as Counsel…and I have won some and lost some…but always clean and fair…and there is no statute of limitation for murder or rape so a word to the wise #pickonyuhsize…”
i note also further tweets by you in particular:
• A GIF based on the movie ‘How to get away with murder’, posted on your page, 17th July and
The re-tweet on your page of a 17th. July post by MusChangeDotCom, set out below and attached hereto: “… May the soul of Diane Smith RIP I’m certain all well thinking Jamaicans would agree. Please nuh badda tek dis as an accusation of any sort fi mek yuh lawyer write mi…”
I find that these posts, if made by you, can together be understood as malicious, that is,’ intentionally harmful, mischievous in motivation or purpose’ (Oxford English Dictionary).

The posts may be seen as hurtful and unkind and would therefore be a breach of S4 of the Agreement and Declaration on Political Conduct, which provides: Party officials (including platform speakers) should not make statements which: …Are malicious in reference to opposing candidates, their families and Party officials…
I have heard your explanation provided for your initially referenced post. Your subsequent posts, suggest otherwise. I am of the view that as a Candidate and a senior Attorney, practising at Jamaica’s criminal bar, you would be aware of the allegations that have been made against Mr Vaz. Then, a student overseas, Mr Vaz further maintains that he was away from the island at the operative time.
The use of the words murder, rape and Diane Smith, in a thread and or in your digital space over two to three weeks in tweets which a lay person could construe as an exchange, point to this breach.
Please delete the posts from your page and desist from any such further posts against the Candidate, Mr Vaz.
Sincerely,
DAmin Bu
