  • MP calls for Ethics Committee for Parliament

    Member of Parliament (MP) for South Central St. Catherine, Sharon Haye-Webster, weighed in on the recent controversy surrounding remarks made by two her parliamentary colleagues.

    Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) Members of Parliament Everard Warmington and Robert Montague have been under fire for statements they made during the recent campaign for the Local Government Elections.

    In the House Tuesday, Mrs. Haye-Webster tabled a motion calling for the immediate establishment of an ethics committee which would reprimand members of the House.

    On Monday, both Mr. Warmington and Mr. Montaque were summoned to separate meetings with Prime Minister Bruce Golding following outrage over their comments.

    Mr. Warmington told Old Harbour residents that if they did not vote for the JLP, they would not receive hurricane-relief cheques while Mr. Montague suggested that people could only access certain benefits if they voted for his party.

    He issued an apology Monday afternoon.

    These people are out of this world. If this motion was brought by Bunting, Hanna or any other new comer for the PNP, it would be fine. Anybody else just simply providing comic relief ... like some comrades round here.

        Brilliant idea. Only if them could find them some real work to do.
        • Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.
