A RJR News source said the parties will come up with a joint approach by this weekend.
According to the source, since the Prime Minister's admission that he sanctioned the hiring of Manatt Phelps and Phillips, the groups have held informal discussions on the matter and views sought on how the private sector should respond to the deepening saga.
The source added that the private sector bodies intend to take a very firm stance on the matter.
And the latest developments concerning the Manatt saga will be high on the agenda of a meeting of the Board of Directors of Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ) on Thursday.
