ACTIVITIES in sections of downtown Kingston moved at a snail's pace, a day after hundreds of protesters dressed in white marched through sections of the economic hub in support of their embattled don, Christopher 'Dudus' Coke.
Stores were open but there were few customers.
"Store owners are conducting business but the streets are empty," one resident told the Observer.
Sections of the capital city has been tense since Prime Minister Bruce Golding announced Monday that an order to proceed with the extradition of Coke had been signed.
