The matter of holding politicians accountable for indiscretions was highlighted by opposition leader, Mark Golding, at a People’s National Party, PNP, meeting in Westmoreland over the weekend.
Golding told supporters that a future PNP government would bring legislation to impeach politicians and public officials.
He says the Jamaica Labour Party government has been dragging its feet on a motion he tabled in parliament in 2021.
But, constitutional attorney, Shane Dalling, says impeaching parliamentarians is not the best solution.
