President of the People’s National Party, Mark Golding asserts that the Jamaica Labour Party’s (JLP) focus on his dual citizenship is a desperate attack.
He argues that this issue is a mere distraction designed to overshadow the PNP’s accomplishments in the recent local government elections.
Speaking to supporters at the annual conference in St. Mary’s Gayle division, Mr. Golding emphasized that despite the country’s leadership deficit, the PNP remains undeterred.
The emphasis on Golding’s dual citizenship indicates the JLP’s desperation, according to the PNP.
“I pledge tonight, Comrades, that when I become prime minister of this country, I will not sell you out. I will ensure that the resources of the people are used exclusively for the people. I will focus on fixing the real issues confronting Jamaica so we can have a brighter future and move from the malaise and a lack of hope where we are now to a brighter place because we are a great people. Still, we are being held back by a government that majors in public relations and spin but is not delivering the fundamental changes that have to happen for our country to move forward,” he declared.
