Mr Golding has ordered the Attorney General to write to US law firm Manatt, Phelps and Phillips advising the company that it’s not authorised to represent the Jamaican Government.
Mr. Golding says the letter should also outline that local attorney Harold Brady is not a Government consultant, neither does he have the authority to represent the Government.
A contract between Mr. Brady and Manatt posted on the US Justice Department’s website indicates that Manatt through Mr Brady was acting on behalf of the Government in political and economic matters including treaties.
Mr Brady has since said that aspect of the contract was a mistake, which has been corrected.
In the meantime, the Solicitor General Douglas Leys is today expected to submit to the government a report from Mr Brady regarding the alleged transaction involving Manatt, Phelps and Phillips.
Mr. Brady had been ordered to explain the aspect of the contract with Manatt claiming that he was acting on behalf of the Jamaican government.
Yesterday the minister with responsibility for information, Daryl Vaz said the report would help to determine what action will be taken in the matter.
