    Walker's eligibility questioned

    Walker's eligibility questioned
    published: Saturday | December 29, 2007

    The question of Danville Walker's eligibility for the post of director of elections was raised yesterday during the election petition hearing in the Supreme Court involving the West Portland Member of Parliament, Daryl Vaz.
    Mr. Walker has acknowledged his dual citizenship with the United States and Jamaica.
    During cross-examination yesterday, attorneys for Mr. Dabdoub questioned Mr. Walker's eligibility for the post of director of elections based on the provisions of the Electoral Commission (Interim) Act of 2006.
    Allegiance issue
    According to the act, no person shall be qualified to be nominated commissioner (of the Electoral Commission) or the director of elections, if he, by virtue of his own act, swears allegiance to a foreign power or state.
    However, a source close to Mr. Walker said he believes the Jamaican Constitution gives him the right to work in Jamaica and makes no reference to dual citizenship with respect to his position as director of elections.
    The source further pointed out that the provisions of the Electoral Commission Interim Act are subordinate to those of the Jamaican Constitution.
    Mr. Walker is scheduled to continue his testimony on Monday. Dabdoub, who challenged Vaz for the West Portland seat in the September 3 general election, claimed that by virtue of swearing allegiance to a foreign power, Vaz should be disqualified as a Member of Parliament.

            Seaga said he should have been relieved about 4-6 years ago but the PNP stood by him.

              What a load of crap. The Electoral Commission (Interim) Act of 2006 never that that a US Citizen cannot work in Jamaica. It said that the US Citizen cannot be Director of Elections. They need to fire Danny boy monday morning.
              The same type of thinking that created a problem cannot be used to solve the problem.

                  the question you need to ask yourself is whether Abe is wrong? Yes he might be a loser but is he wrong about Vaz or Walker now, stop attacking the messenger and lok at the message.

                      What messager? Abe himself have conducted himself in very poor state in his election campaign carry posters that people shouldn't vote for Vaz because he is a US citizen and had the "rapist" theme all over his platform. This is a man who claim that Bruce was responsible for $25 million which disappear under his watch at the NDM and the NDM said it was false.

                      The fact is Abe will stop at nothing to get a seat.

                        and what about this action that makes him any different from any other politician in the PNP or JLP...you behave as if we are dealing with Choir boys here...but once again back to your allegations...how much of what he said was not true?

                          Regardless of what you and I think Vaz was not convicted or tried in any court of rape and murder.

                          Bruce Golding was never accused of the NDM of stealing anything and Abe telling the people that Vaz will be disqualified is nothing but propoganda is the worst in politics.

                          That said he will do anything to get a seat.

                              It is not what I believe, I am saying that Abe is too desperate, just like the bredda who a fight DK. There is a time to give up and let it go.
