Declaring the Tivoli Gardens Commission of Enquiry a waste of time and claiming its terms of reference have been designed by the Government to vilify the people of West Kingston, the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) has indicated it has no intention of taking part.
Speaking with The Gleaner/ Power106 News Centre yesterday, JLP General Secretary Dr Horace Chang also stressed that the decision against participating in the probe into the May 2010 incursion in Tivoli Gardens was not an attempt at a cover up.
No decision yet on Tivoli enquiry, says Holness

OPPOSITION Leader Andrew Holness said last night that the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) has not yet taken a decision on whether it will participate in the commission of enquiry into the security forces' operation in Tivoli Gardens in 2010.
"No such decision yet," Holness reacted in a message seeking a response on the issue. However, he admitted that the JLP had not participated in the process of formulating the Terms of Reference of the enquiry.
HOLNESS... no such decision yet
1/1
There has been speculation since yesterday that the Opposition would not participate in the process, following a statement made on radio by the general secretary of the JLP, Dr Horace Chang, that the party saw the enquiry as another step in the process of stigmatising the people of West Kingston, a JLP stronghold.
