The massive coverup continues

[Lazie]

The Government has turned over the controversial matter involving local attorney Harold Brady to the Attorney General for action.
Mr Brady has refuted reports that he is a consultant to the Government.
He has also rejected reports that he has a deal with US law firm Manatt Phelps and Phillips, which is acting for the Jamaican Government through his entity, Brady and Company.

However, a document on the website of the US Justice Department, indicates that Mr Brady’s law firm has inked an deal with Manatt, Phelps and Phillips to represent the Jamaican Government.
Mr Brady has said that was an error that has since been corrected and has provided documentation to support his position.
However, speaking at a post Cabinet press briefing a short while ago, the minister with responsibility for information Daryl Vaz said the Government is not satisfied with Mr Brady’s explanation and so it will be taking the matter further.

The US Justice department website indicates that Manatt, Phelps and Phillips is to be paid US$100,000 per quarter for its work on behalf of the Jamaican Government.
The Opposition has been pressuring the Government to clarify the issue.

It must be nice to be paid $50,000 US (or any denomination really) for a job you were never hired to do...

Yup. I think only spies and special forces ever get anything like that (getting paid for things that didn't officially happen).

When it buss where the money come from though that is when all the crap going to hit the fan and stink up di place.

that is probably di best ting !

"In the meantime, Vaz hinted that he and other government officials could take legal action against persons who have gone public with allegations that an official of Manatt travelled to Jamaica and met with three Cabinet members at Jamaica House.

Vaz provided copies of the two visitors' log books at Jamaica House and invited journalists to search for any indication that a Manatt official had visited.

He also pointed journalists to the Passport, Immigration and Citizen Agency to check if any Manatt official had entered the country."

Too many spoons stirring in the Teacup !

Vaz mus' really tink seh man fool. I've personally experienced going into ministry buildings where the log book procedure is so lax (people barely look at you and do not ask for ID) that I could easily have written anyone else's name (be it a superstar, woman, fictitious alien from a TV show) and gotten through and more than once I've noticed log books where people log in, but mysteriously nobody logs out....(cue the Twilight Zone or X-Files theme)
