Bruce Golding should have asked Al Miller to step down

Prime Minister of Jamaica,Bruce Golding, should have asked Al Miller to step down as head of the the National Transformation Programme(NTP) which is operated out of his office. Bruce Golding after all that he has been through he should not have need any prompting. However this is not the only another misstep by Mr. Golding

There is still the matter of whether Joseph Hibbert should be sitting in parliament. Mr. Joseph Hibbert was mention in a Mable and Johnson Court case where that company was charged in the UK for bribing officials in Jamaica and other countries in order to 'build bridges'. Investigations by the Contractor General has resulted in the matter being turned over to the DPP to determine if he is to be charged. However, there appears to be insufficient evidence to proceed in a court of law, at least at this time. Mr. Hibbert proclaims his innocence but was asked to resign as Minister of State.

On the Opposition side there is still that matter of Kern Spencer. Charged for his role in the Cuban Light-bulb scandal, he is currently in court with his co-accused Collen Wright facing off against his former associate Rodney Chin who has become the State star witness. Now Mr. Spencer has stepped down as chairman of his constituency. That is a step in the right direction but he is still in parliament.

These are just examples of the issues of trust and integrity that continues to affect the political leadership in Jamaica.
