Prime Minister flays Spanish Town Mayor for bad behaviour
Friday, 14 March 2008
Prime Minister Bruce Golding has reacted with shock to the conduct of Mayor of Spanish Town Dr. Andrew Wheatley at a recent meeting of the Portmore Municipal Council.
Our news centre obtained a copy of a letter sent to Dr. Wheatley by the Prime Minister in which he flayed the Mayor for his verbal attack on parliamentarians that were invited to the meeting.
The St. Catherine based Opposition members of Parliament had been invited to the council meeting to make presentations on road work in their constituencies by Portmore's Mayor Keith Hinds.
In his letter, Mr. Golding described Dr. Wheatley's objection to the MP's presence as "unwarranted and unbecoming".
Mr. Golding added that Dr. Wheatley's statements were uncomplimentary and far below the standard he expected of the Mayor based on his training and discipline.
The Prime Minister went further by stating that the Spanish Town Mayor's action brought into disrepute the Jamaica Labour Party's stated commitment to good governance.
