National Security Minister Peter Bunting signed a deportation order against a Curaco national Shurendy Quant in 2013 whom he labeled a drug kingpin and kicked his ass out of Jamaica and I say “BRAVO MINISTER”.
Quant was a passenger travelling in a taxicab which the police stopped and searched in St Ann in which ganga was found the cabdriver claimed the wed was his.
Quant who was not a legal Jamaica resident was taken to the Police Narcotics Division in Kingston where deportation proceedings were commenced against him despite the incompetent police not charging him with a crime.T
his was an egregious error you never release anyone in a situation like this without charge let them go to court and let the court decide whether the cab driver is lying about owning the weed.
Incredibly, though Quant was in the country illegally he was able to amass a legal team to fight his deportation proceedings which saw a Magistrate decide to hold Saturday court to try and stave off his deportation before the date decided on by the Minister.
How unusual is that?
Jamaican courts love criminals, not just Jamaican criminals , it does not matter where they come from they find all sorts of bullshit arguments to delay justice.
So the courts of appeals took on the Minister lambasting him for sending Quant packing.
Now retired court of appeal president Seymour Panton, in the ruling, said he was “surprised” that the minister “does not know that a resident magistrate may properly sit and dispose of matters on days other than those that have been gazetted”.
The court also slammed Bunting for claiming ignorance of an order by the Supreme Court barring Quant’s deportation. “In light of the integral function the minister plays in the deportation of an alien, the assertion that he was ignorant of the court’s order staying his order is curious. It is certainly odd, in light of the crucial role he plays or ought to play in a deportation, that he didn’t acquaint himself with the outcome of the proceedings,”.
Panton rambled on that the Minister should have commended the magistrate for holding court on a Saturday because the Minister and Police found it odd the kind of accommodation which was afforded this accused alien.
Needless to say this publication supports the Minister wholeheartedly, screw the Cangaroo criminal coddling court and Panton .
Literally every week Jamaican nationals are deported back to the country from several countries, why the hell should Jamaica not do the same?
Why should we accommodate a foreigner with every special accommodation we can and worse who the hell was this guy that he generated such a flurry of support?
Good one Minister Bunting.
