Jamaica’s Minister Of Foreign Affairs Regarding A Jamaican Citizen: “Who Is This Man By The Way, Is He King, Who Is He, What Is All This Interest About?” “I Am Saying Nothing Further About This Man Or About This Case.”!!!

“Who is this man by the way, Is he king, Who is he, What is all this interest about?” “I am saying nothing further about this man or about this case.”!!!

These were the words of Jamaica’s Foreign Minister Senator A J Nicholson, when Journalists ques­tioned him about the release of a Jamaican National Paul Stephens,who was locked up in Qatar for over three years. Stephens a 40 year-old Pilot have been incar­cer­at­ed on a charge of sex­u­al molesta­tion of a minor.
Opposition spokesman on Foreign Affairs Edmund Bartlett revealed days ago that through his efforts Stephens was released.
At the time the Information came to light regard­ing Stephens release from Prison, Nicholson admit­ted he had no knowl­edge of it , cit­ing the dif­fer­ence in time zones between Jamaica and Qatar as the rea­son he could not ver­i­fy the report.

Conversely Bartlett stat­ed that his liai­son with Qatari offi­cials in the United States con­firmed the release of Stephens. Other enti­ties have also been lob­by­ing for the release of Mister Stephens whom they claimed was unjust­ly incarcerated.
Bartlett also acknowl­edged that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was indeed involved in try­ing to secure the release of mis­ter Stephens. So what then is the rea­son for this caus­tic and dis­re­spect­ful response from AJ Nicholson?

Is it that Nicholson is pissed that Bartlett pre­empt­ed him by com­ing out and announc­ing the release of Stephens?
It may very well be juve­nile polit­i­cal malice.
In fact when pre­vi­ous­ly told that Bartlett had announced the release , Nicholson alleged­ly said ” who wan tek cred­it can go ahead and tek cred­it”.

Juvenile tantrum aside regard­ing who should be cred­it­ed, Nicholson’s tirade on this issue involv­ing a Jamaican cit­i­zen shows the deep dis­re­spect these Politicians have for Jamaicans.
Nicholson’s salary and perks are paid by Jamaican tax-pay­ers. Yet the lev­el of dis­re­spect com­ing from his mouth regard­ing exact­ly what he should be look­ing about is rather illuminating.
Shocking as this tirade is it is the norm of PNP politi­cians to show dis­dain for Jamaicans. Robert Pickersgill once asked a male audi­ence mem­ber whether he was “hav­ing his peri­od” because the mem­ber dared ques­tion him.
In oth­er some places Nicholson would have been asked to resign . However when we look at who holds the top spot in the ech­e­lons of elect­ed pow­er that thought dis­si­pates rather quickly.

AJ Nicholson has always been a self-serv­ing Arrogant piece of filth when he prac­ticed as a Defense Lawyer. In many cas­es his impres­sions of him­self as a crim­i­nal defense lawyer was not borne out at the dis­po­si­tion of cas­es in which he was involved. As the Nation’s top Diplomat there is no place for that type of arro­gance and disrespect.
Then I’m remind­ed it’s only Jamaica , any­thing goes. These ass-wipes are only there to fat­ten their pockets.
