STATEMENT ON HOLNESS’ INTEGRITY
STATEMENT by The People’s National Party
Regarding Holness’ Integrity & Irresponsible Behaviour as Leader of the Opposition
February 11, 2016
The People’s National Party wishes to express its concern about a number of issues regarding the integrity of Andrew Holness, the Leader of the Jamaica Labour Party.
Holness referred to the recent unfortunate shooting incident at the JLP rally in Sam Sharpe Square, Montego Bay, Sunday, February 7, 2016, as “an act of terror.”
The Jamaica Constabulary Force has ruled out any outside forces being involved in the shooting that left three people dead. The evidence is that internal forces to the JLP were at war with each other.
Holness further termed the incident as a, “barefaced and heartless attack on the democratic process” of Jamaica.
These utterances by Holness have grave and serious implications for Jamaica especially in the regional and international community. If they were to believe Holness, that other than criminal elements internal to the JLP were involved, then Jamaica would be seen as a terrorist state.
We also note, that to date, Holness is yet to condemn the reckless and irresponsible utterances by JLP Chairman Robert Montague, who attempted to link Jamaica’s importation of oil with the terrorist organization ISIS.
We also note with alarm, Holness’ recent outbursts regarding Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller, where he described her as “the biggest con artist” in Jamaica. This is a defamatory and disrespectful characterization of the Prime Minister of Jamaica.
If he describes the Prime Minister as “Jamaica’s biggest con artist” why should anyone wish the Prime Minister to have dialogue with him?
We call upon Mr. Holness to issue a public apology to the Prime Minister.

Tinan Portia said his ten point plan was a con. She did not describe him as a con artist.What he did was inflamatory and slanderous. Andrew Holness is a fake wanna be Obama. Jamaica is a 3rd world country digressing to fourth. Focus on what can be meaningful to the people and don’t give the same old political spin.
