We Must Seriously Consider The Hidden Dangers Of Jamaica’s High Court Being The Final Arbiter..

Jamaicans ( like myself), who con­tin­ue to call for cut­ting the colo­nial ties we main­tain with Britain, must also avail them­selves ful­ly of what we are ask­ing for.
Fully jet­ti­son­ing the Queen of England also means get­ting rid of the privy coun­cil. Aggrieved Jamaicans who can man­age to get their cas­es heard by the UK privy coun­cil can at least get a fair hear­ing one way or the other.
Let us imag­ine for a moment hav­ing to trust the Caribbean Court of Justice, or worse, plac­ing your last bet on Bryan Sykes and his cohorts to be the final arbiters of your grievances?
Now come back to real­i­ty. Yes, that will actu­al­ly be the fate of Jamaicans if peo­ple like myself get our way and we final­ly dump the queen of England.
Now I know that this may be a bit unrea­son­able, but I got­ta ask any­way, will lit­tle showoffs like K D Knight be allowed to keep the des­ig­na­tion of “Queen’s Counsel”?
Imagine a sys­tem in which we have judges turn­ing loose vio­lent crim­i­nals as if it is their God-giv­en right to do so and com­mon thugs like K D Knight pos­tur­ing and show­boat­ing in our court­rooms-what kind of jus­tice sys­tem will Jamaica even­tu­al­ly have?

Sure, I would hire KD Knight to defend me if I ever got myself into trou­ble. First of all, Knight believes some peo­ple are above the law. He is also a bul­ly that goes into court­rooms to intim­i­date judges. (I wish he was prac­tic­ing law in the United States and tried that with a judge ) but I digress.
Foot on the bench-seat K D Knight address­es judges with scant respect. Judges go out of their way to be respect­ful and def­er­en­tial to him; they treat him in the way offi­cers of the court should treat the court.
K D Knight gets what KG Knight wants, when he is in the court­room it becomes his court, not the judge’s.
It came as no sur­prise that Knight is get­ting his way in the Trafugira Beheer hear­ings in Kingston. Knight, rep­re­sent­ing for­mer Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller, described the hear­ings occur­ring at the supreme court as quote “rub­bish hearings.”
For those of you who do not know what this hear­ing is about, the Trafigura Affair came to pub­lic atten­tion in October 2006 by then Opposition Leader Bruce Golding, who revealed that the firm, which trad­ed oil for Jamaica on the inter­na­tion­al mar­ket, had donat­ed $31 mil­lion to an account oper­at­ed by Campbell just before the PNP’s annu­al con­fer­ence that year.
It is impor­tant to note that it is ille­gal for com­pa­nies to make dona­tions to polit­i­cal par­ties under Dutch law.
Trafigura Beheer could not legal­ly donate mon­ey to the PNP as it vio­lat­ed sec­tion 14 of its code of conduct.
Trafigura Beheer rep­re­sen­ta­tives at the time lied that the mon­ey was part of a com­mer­cial agree­ment; the PNP, for its part, said the mon­ey was a dona­tion to the par­ty. The truth is that some arm twist­ing & extor­tion occurred, and now every PNP mem­ber has amnesia.
Either way, the whole fish head stunk to high heav­ens with the Dutch com­pa­ny break­ing its coun­try’s laws and the bunch of crooks in the PNP lying to the pub­lic about the true rea­son the mon­ey was giv­en to them.
