And during his <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Arial; POSITION: relative">presentation</SPAN> on the campaign financing Bill, Member of Parliament for North East St. Catherine, Abe Dabdoub, threatened to blow the whistle on the Opposition.
Mr. Dabdoub, who had the support of the Government, made the threats while he was being heckled by Opposition members.
But the controversial member left much doubt as to whether his threats were empty.
He failed to tell all he claimed to know about financing in the <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Arial; POSITION: relative">Jamaica</SPAN> Labour Party when challenged by the vocal Opposition members.
The MP drew the ire of the Opposition when he constantly took pot shots at them.
The sitting threatened to careen out of control and Deputy Speaker O.T. Williams struggled to gain control as Government and Opposition members clashed briefly.
Mr. Dabdoub expressed agreement with Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller's decision to return the $31 million to Trafigura Beheer.
He argued that public confidence in the <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Arial; POSITION: relative">democratic</SPAN> system can be undermined by disreputable donors.
Within this context, he said <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue! important; BORDER-BOTTOM: blue 1px solid; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Arial; POSITION: relative; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">legislation</SPAN> should be enacted to ensure that donors are identified.
