Veteran People’s National Party (PNP) politician, KD Knight, has labelled Prime Minister Andrew Holness a weak leader.
While addressing a party meeting in St. Mary last night, Knight said Holness had demonstrated weakness in dealing with two recent issues.
He said one of them is his decision to continue with Mike Henry as Transport Minister despite a recent damning report by the auditor general on the Jamaica Development Infrastructure Programme (JDIP).
Holness has now assumed responsibility for the programme and has ordered a full review of projects already undertaken under the JDIP, but Knight said Holness should have fired Henry as a Cabinet member.
Knight has also charged that Holness showed weakness in not calling general elections during the Jamaica Labour Party’s annual conference on Sunday, despite wanting to.
During an interview on a current affairs programme this week, Holness admitted being caught up in the euphoria and wanting to call the elections but deciding to stick with the party’s original plan to wait.
The PNP was in St. Mary yesterday, for a tour of the parish and presentation of its prospective candidates for the upcoming elections.
