There has been a deafening silence from the Bruce Golding administration nearly 24 hours after a revelation concerning the Manatt, Phelps and Phillips Affair.
The attorney at the centre of the deepening saga, Harold Brady, suggested on Thursday that he and Information Minister Daryl Vaz knew more than they were letting on.
Our news centre has been trying unsuccessfully to reach both Mr. Vaz and Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) General Secretary Karl Samuda who has been assigned to speak on issues relating to the Manatt Affair.
No statement has been issued by any of the parties in response to Mr. Brady's pronouncement.
On Wednesday, Mr. Vaz suggested that Mr. Brady would be punished at the party level because he had not adequately cleared up the Manatt, Phelps and Phillips mess.
The attorney was supposed to submit documents making it clear that he was not acting on the government's behalf when he hired the law firm.
Talk of punishment saw the attorney fighting back when he was interviewed on a radio programme on Thursday.
He issued a veiled threat to Daryl Vaz, which seemed to suggest that both he and Mr. Vaz knew more about the issue than has been revealed to the public.
His comment also seemed to suggest that the information, if revealed, would be damaging to Mr. Vaz.
