Confrontation in South East St. Andrew

Monique Grange, Gleaner Writer

The Gleaner/Power106 news centre has received reports of a confrontation in the constituency of South East St. Andrew between the Jamaica Labour Party’s (JLP) Dwight Nelson and alleged supporters of the People’s National Party (PNP).

Senator Nelson has confirmed that there was an incident in the constituency.

He explained that he received calls this morning about persons tearing down JLP flags in the constituency.

Senator Nelson described the perpetrators as thugs supporting the PNP:

However, Senator Nelson has dismissed reports that he pulled his firearm on the men.

According to Senator Nelson those claims are mere propaganda.

The PNP’s Deputy General Secretary Julian Robinson will be contesting Senator Nelson for the seat.

Efforts to reach him for a comment on the matter were unsuccessful.

In the meantime, Senator Nelson said he has reported the matter to the police and he plans to contact the Political Ombudsman.

He said he will also be re-visiting the constituency this afternoon.

"The information I received is that the minister came around the area alone in his vehicle and pulled his firearm at a supporter,"

...hardly likely....not by himself...even the Lone Ranger had Tonto (no pun).

Well at least he recalled where he kept his gun. Minister of National Security recalls the important things. Is wha do unu?

[Plush]

Mr "I do not recall", why would you go confront PNP supporters because of people removing JLP falls? Shouldn't you report that to the police to avoid the confrontation? You are supposedly a smart man...why?

[Rudi]

You don't like a minister being proactive? If he hears of a crime he is obligated to do something. If he recalls.

[1of1]

crime?

[Rudi]

Semantics. Law and order him say. When him recall. Who say election no nice.
