Another People’s National Party politician will soon face the courts, this time on charges he attempted to pervert the course of justice.
The incident originated in St. Thomas and stemmed from an incident where a politically connected 46-year-old Pastor allegedly sexually assaulted a minor.
It is alleged the Councillor and a business person attempted to convince the mother of the child not to press charges.
The Director of Public Prosecution has since ruled that both men be charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Recently we reported on this matter when we learned that a female Police commander was verbally assaulted at a council meeting in the parish as a result she walked out of that meeting.
It is becoming clearer by the day that the Simpson Miller Government is an out of control Kleptocracy which no one dare question. Media Houses are afraid of reporting on the corruption withing the Government out of fear of being dragged before the courts on slander charges to face party hack/s on the bench.
Others are cheer-leaders of the corruption.
The list of scandals are well known and well documented.
(1) Finsac.
(2)Cuban Light bulb.
(3) Outameni.
(4)Trafigura.
The list goes on.
No need to get excited about the imminent arrest of these two however, criminal trials in Jamaica of the politically connected rarely result in convictions.
The likelihood that a Councillor or Member of Parliament will be convicted is next to nil.
Jamaica’s corruption runs much deeper than just corruption within the administration, it’s endemic.
The Courts despite the hype, are more corrupt than many Jamaicans know. Judges have allegiances and they exert political leverage.
Cases drag on and on and on simply because a Magistrate says so.
Ask yourselves, “how was it possible that Kern Spencer got out of an open and shut light bulb case”?
The Jamaican Government is not answerable to anyone, the people themselves do not recognize just how corrupt the administration is because generally they are extremely lawless and corrupt.
As a patriotic Jamaican it is an embarrassment to list the different scandals associated with this administration.
