The World Watches

A Minister of National Security who can't recall
more than his name,
An Attorney General who doesn't know the law.

Having stonewalled for over nine months
everyone denies knowing Dudus, yet are willing
to spend millions of dollars to prevent his
extradition.

The world is watching.
They don't think Dwight Nelson's poor memory or
giggles are cute.
They aren't impressed with Dorothy Lightbourne's
lack of legal knowledge.

They know corruption when they see it.

The Embassy/Consular Staff are glued to
the TV set, beaming the Inquiry to
their Capitals.

One wonders if Golding appreciates the
impact this has?

It isn't amusing to see Ministers of
a Government lie. And lie so obviously.

Maybe those who appear before the
Inquiry have such contempt for
the Jamaican people they believe
they can 'get over' with a smirk
and a shrug.

Maybe they don't realise that they
do not appear so cute in D.C. or
Downing Street, or anywhere persons
of a certain level of intellect
and integrity assemble.

The effect of the Manatt/Dudus
Inquiry on Jamaica's prestige
overseas is as devastating as
the tsunami on Japan.

The sadly amusing part is that the
Golding Government doesn't realise
it.

Don't appreciate that look on the
faces of First World countries is
contempt.
