Government Senator Abka Fitz-Henley says examples noted this week by former Prime Minister PJ Patterson highlight what he says is the unusual nature of the hesitation by Opposition Leader Mark Golding to renounce his British citizenship.
Mr. Patterson told a forum at the University of the West Indies on Wednesday that certain sensitive public office holders in Jamaica should not be dual citizens.
He says this is due to the risk of them exposing themselves to accusations of treason.
Senator Fitz-Henley says Mr. Patterson’s intervention is useful in contextualising the inappropriate position in which Mark Golding has placed himself.
Senator Fitz-Henley says examples given by Mr. Patterson about the approach taken by two of his former appointees who were dual citizens, point the way forward for Mark Golding.
