Jamaica Labour Party, JLP, deputy leader, James Robertson, says the corruption scandal gripping the Kingston and St. Andrew Municipal Corporation, KSAMC, confirms the opposition People’s National Party, PNP, cannot be trusted with state power.
James Robertson, JLP deputy leader addressing a constituency conference in South Central St. Catherine in Sunday.
The opposition returned to the helm of the KSAMC following the local government election last year.
Since then the KSAMC has been rocked by a scandal which took a major turn recently when former PNP caretaker for Central Kingston, Lawrence Rowe, gave a statement to the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency, MOCA.
Rowe name dropped several high profile PNP members who he alleged have been participating in a ruse to defraud the KSAMC.
Rowe, whose phone was seized by MOCA as part of their investigation, also alleged that a senior PNP politician has been funding criminal dons in the corporate area.
PNP general secretary Dr. Dayton Campbell, and Kingston’s mayor, Andrew Swaby, have strongly denied knowledge of any wrongdoing by the PNP or the KSAMC.
