Dear Editor,
It is encouraging to see Chief Justice Ian Chang showing some testicular fortitude in discharging the Kwame Mc Koy injunction, which should never have been granted in the first place. I wonder how many phone calls the Chief Justice may have received from the New Garden Street area.
The question is what happens to Mc Koy now that His Majesty (so anointed by one Anil Nandalall) has returned from his recent unsuccessful trip to New York. Great photo-ops there were. Tangible achievements there were not.
I note a recent report from the Jamaica Gleaner that Prime Minister Bruce Golding has sensibly “cut his foreign trips to a bare minimum”. By contrast I think His Majesty is soon to go on another Middle East jaunt, which like the others and consistent with his Presidency, will bear no fruit.
Back to Kwame – assuming but not admitting that there is some semblance of decency or moral compass left in the Jagdeo Regime, the right thing for His Majesty to do would be to remove Kwame from all public offices until the outcome of the libel suit, assuming that his lawyers remember to file what they have to file.
But were he to so act (though that would be unlikely), his Majesty would be on the horns of a dilemma. How can he “knock” Kwame without “knocking” Ramsammy?
The evidence against both is overwhelming. Kwame is implicated in the solicitation of a minor by his own voice which was recorded and Ramsammy is implicated in aiding and abetting a death squad run by a self confessed drug trafficker by his own signature on a letter tendered in evidence in a recent criminal trial in New York.
It seems to me that you cannot “knock” one without “knocking” the other, otherwise Kwame may again complain to the goodly Bishop of the ERC – and this time with some justification. Bibi K. Nandram
