Harold Brady must stand his ground

IN 2009 when a person or persons in the Government approached attorney-at-law Harold Brady, member of the JLP and a 'rock stone' labourite, and sought his assistance in making a link with US Government officials, one of the compelling reasons must have been that while he was at the law firm Dunn, Cox and Orrett (which he joined in 1979), he was granted leave of absence in 1989 to accept the post of executive secretary of the International Democrat Union, the worldwide body of conservative, Christian democrats and centre right political parties.


Based at the Secretariat in London, Brady's responsibilities included co-ordinating the worldwide activities of the union, including organising the premier event -- the 1989 Party Leaders' Conference in Tokyo -- which was attended by 28 party leaders from 27 countries, headed by Margaret Thatcher, the prime minister of Great Britain; Dan Quayle, vice president of the USA; and the prime minister of Japan.

BRADY… is no lightweight
SAMUDA… has given the impression that Brady has somehow breached a major JLP rule
GOLDING… wants to have his cake and eat it


BRADY… is no lightweight

1/3

Certainly at the top of the agenda among some in the JLP Cabinet in 2009 after the extradition request for 'Dudus' — a key player in the JLP stronghold of Tivoli Gardens -- was received, must have been how do they make the request go away or reversed, or indeed forgotten.


Ever since his services in the Manatt, Phelps and Phillips engagement came upon the roadblocks of pressure by the Opposition PNP, and scrutiny by an electorate which was highly suspicious of the JLP administration's intent on the extradition, plus the heavy hand of the requesting state, the USA, Prime Minister Golding and his closest allies in the Cabinet have turned on Brady and have been botching every attempt they have made to paint him as the fly in the ointment.


Prime Minister Golding wants to have his cake and eat it. According to him in May, "I sanctioned the appointment", meaning that he was at the head table, he was the boss with full responsibility for all the positives which were hoped for and all the terrible negatives which resulted. In another breath, according to the prime minister, it is Brady's fault. That is essentially leadership at its weakest, and Mr Golding must be told this in no uncertain terms.


The fact is, Harold Brady is no lightweight, and those in the JLP Cabinet salivating at the thought of handing his bleached bones to a public grown weary at the plain lies being told, need a wake-up call and constant memos telling them that it is their own carcasses that the electorate is hoping to secure.


An attorney of many parts, between 1978 and 1989 he was a lecturer in Commercial Law at the University of the West Indies (Department of Business Studies); lecturer in West Indies Constitutional Law, Faculty of Law, University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, Jamaica; member of the Copyright Committee to review existing legislation and to make recommendations for a new and improved law; deputy chairman at the Rent Assessment Board for the Kingston Metropolitan Area and was made chairman in 1989; member, Jamaica Institute of Political Education which he also served as a director; General Caribbean Democrat Union Counsel; member Executive Committee of the International Democrat Union, representing Prime Minister Edward Seaga; chairman National Book Development Council of Jamaica; member of the international fact-finding mission to The Philippines; chairman of the Divestment Committee for Government-owned media, to which he was appointed by the Prime Minister of Jamaica.


In 1987 Brady was a member of the National Council on Drug Abuse; member of the Legislative Committee; and member of the Caribbean and Jamaican delegation to IDU Party Leaders Conference, Berlin.


In 1989 he was a member of the International Observer Team to the Panama elections; member of the International Observer Team to the Namibia Elections; Executive of the International Democrat Union Party Leaders Conference held in Tokyo, Japan.


And that is just a snippet of the Harold Brady that certain people in the JLP and the JLP administration don't want the people to see.


According to Prime Minister Golding, Brady is no longer a member of the JLP. According to general secretary of the JLP Karl Samuda, Brady is not a paid up member of the party. For the records, when Trevor MacMillan was made a senator and minister of national security, was he a paid up member of the JLP? Is Hyacinth Bennett, a standing JLP senator, a fully paid up member of the JLP?


It is a fact that about 80 per cent of JLP members are not paid up members. It is also a fact that the vast majority of JLP party workers, those 'rock stone' labourites doing work in the trenches and waving green flags, have never paid dues throughout the life of their membership. There are even ministers who are not paid up members!


How therefore, can Prime Minister Golding, who left the JLP in 1995 to form a 'movement' and returned in 2002, announce that Brady is no longer a JLP member? Where does Mr Golding get the political capital in the JLP to make that announcement when Brady has faced no disciplinary committee? Who was it at party central who sanctioned the non-collection of Brady's dues when he sent his bearer (twice) to pay up? Which part of the JLP constitution supports that? No part!


How can Karl Samuda announce that Brady is not a paid up member and in doing so give the listening, watching public the impression that Brady has somehow breached a major JLP rule. All that from Samuda who left the JLP and ran on the PNP ticket in 1993. All that when Harold Brady, a 'rock stone' labourite, remained in the JLP all through the lean, long years.


Weak leadership of Bruce Golding


Fact: The prime minister should never have sanctioned the engagement of the Manatt law firm to lobby the US Government in an effort to overturn the extradition of 'Dudus'. If he was scared of 'Dudus' he should have resigned.


If he was deliberately stalling because he was scared of him and wanted to give the impression that his Government was doing all in its power to change the minds of the Americans, he should have told us so in his apology. Then again, did he really apologise?


With not a single media voice supporting the JLP administration over its botched handing of the Manatt matter, Golding seems intent on doing serious damage to himself and the Government/party he leads. As long as he continues on that trajectory he will continue to press home Seaga's view of his severe leadership limitations.


My advice to Harold Brady?


Stay put, because the JLP is bigger that Bruce Golding. They cannot touch you in their need to identify a disgusting fly in the ointment. And even if they succeed in throwing Brady under the bus, which to me is unlikely, in any event, the JLP bus is stalled and going nowhere.


To add indecorous insult to an obvious injury, the JLP committee set up to examine issues has 20 individuals who are not paid up JLP members. Ha, Ha, Ha! In other words, at the drop of a hat, they can be thrown out too.
This has to be prime time comedy, especially as I happen to know that there are some JLP Cabinet ministers who are extremely disgusted with the prime minister's quixotic approaches.


With all of the positives in agriculture, in energy and mining, with the efforts of Holness in education, of the old soldier Pearnel Charles in labour, of Audley Shaw in the important finance ministry, the prime minister seems intent on placing both of his feet in his mouth and throwing it all away whenever he attempts to address the Manatt debacle.


In trying to draw the heat away from himself, he needs Harold Brady to be the villain in that part of the story. It seems to me that the real problem is that the story was botched from the beginning, and as it unfolds, 'facts' cannot be remembered because no truth was there from the beginning.


Stay put, Brady, and let them consume themselves in their own fat.


Golding's corner getting darker


Into which black hole of despair, of nothingness, has his political capital been sucked? Does he not see that the important matter of trust is derailing every positive attained by his Government?


One woman speaking on Perkins on Line last week said in reference to the global recession, "I agree that Mr Golding (in September 2007) was given a basket to carry water, but he is not even doing a good job at that."


Now, if I were given a basket by the boss to carry water and I was being paid per trip, I would make as many damp treks to the well as I could. Golding and company had totally misread the effects of the recession, and his excuse is that all world leaders misread it.


Well, Mr Golding, even if your assessment is correct, the fact is, Britain and the USA could afford to do so. We could not afford not to read the signals, for the simple reason that our economy has perennially been on a knife's edge.


One JLP voter wrote on September 16, "Hi Mark, as you know, since the Manatt affair broke, I said Mr Golding should resign and I maintain that position today. However, I find myself this morning feeling very sorry for him. He must be a lonely man today.


"He apologised to the nation and seemed very penitent. Then, all of a sudden in the last two weeks he & G2K got on a high horse and started to blame everyone else. He got into talking mode with an interview with Ian Boyne on Sunday followed by meeting the press on Tuesday.


"The Tuesday talk has put him into a pickle. He now has a problem with his own party. The PM, who has a credibility problem which he was trying to fix by meeting with journalists, says Brady is no longer a member of the JLP. As it turns out, Brady remains a member of the party, though not in good standing.


"Who told Mr Golding that Brady was no longer a member of the party? Poor Bruce, seems as if his own people are setting him up. Well!, well!
"There goes the very credibility Golding was trying to repair. Mark, as I told you from day one, I strongly believe that Golding knew little or nothing about the Manatt affair. He just decided to take the rap for it as leader of the party/PM by saying 'I sanctioned it'.


"He was oblivious to all that was happening around him. With his latest imbroglio with Brady, his credibility is damaged beyond repair. He now has to be looking over his shoulder as he leads the country.


"In my view, his best course of action is to resign. Look like someone obeah him because every time he opens his mouth re this Manatt affair, he sinks deeper in the hole."


I was initially of the view, based on the prime minister's strident response to the PNP's Peter Phillips, that he knew nothing of it. But when he came to us later dressed in sackcloth and covered with ashes and admitted that he had sanctioned the Manatt engagement, it revealed another side of him — to me an extremely dangerous side.


"Looking back at him standing up strong to Peter Phillips and almost calling him a damn liar, while he had sanctioned the matter as he later said, as JLP leader, is troubling. It means that the prime minister can deceive us, or at least use duplicity on us and do it with such a face to give us the impression that 'nutten nuh go so'.


The prime minister has missed his calling. He should go into acting, because his performance in carrying an entire nation wide that day as Phillips questioned him was brilliant! And that, to me, is most dangerous!"
