Who is supposed to pay Opposition Leader's phone bill?

[Time]

It is disrespectful to disconnect the Opposition Leader's telephone bill for non payment? No, however it may be disrespectful not to pay the bill. I heard that government not paying bills in order to pass IMF test. Is that why this bill was not paid?

Time based on your question, i believe you are only now (just like me)finding out about this cozy arrangement between the two parties.
It is a question of judgement with our politicians as far as I am conceened,we have Roger Clarke's suggestions regarding the chicken shortage,Peter Phillips finding comfort in a specific variable eventually returning to normalcy whilst ignoring the great damage resulting(his little banking ...),and now we have Holiness thinking we will side with him as opposed to being utterly outraged on awareness of the well kept secret between both major parties.
Not prepared to take the bitter pill,no problem giving it though.
Both parties benefit from it at our expense(PNP will not be the ruling party at some point).
Just maybe the NDM,Rasta Party etc are also beneficiaries... though I wouldn't be surprised if the didn't,they certainly did not have a hand in its inception.

This is of more importance. Govt not paying its bill on time.

To go off on a bit of a tangent - You do know the parties have 'unwritten rules' on how they 'treat' each other?

As fact, I know over the years many were drinking buddies. ...an trus mi, many were the matters of personal and national concern that were discussed in private.

[Assasin]

there is no unwritten rule here Karl. It is clear who is suppose to pay the bill.

Fact, Sass!
...and I do not know of a period in time or for that matter a Government that does not move around funds and delay payments and purchases!

...but then media houses and political fans have always engaged in seeking to make sensational or a scandal the norm.

Let me join as true fanatic: I wonder how many millions has been spent by the Opposition Leader on use of the telephone and other communication devises we pay for? ...and the amount spent which we have to pay for that had to do with unnecessary and trivial and personal and anti-Jamaica use?

Would the opposition care to itemize the past 5 years use of those gadgets by Opposition Leader Holness? Stats on time spent on the communication gadgets we pay for when not doing 'The People's business'?

.... what does that have to do with paying the phone bill? The problem is many here cannot bring themselves to question the competence of their religious higher order. All of a sudden the termites gone missing.

...so guys and dolls?

It has everything to do with paying of a People's paid for item as it just brings to the fore how governments operate around and all over the globe.

...some just keep burying head in the sand!!! ...but then that would be there business only were it not for the effect it has on this generation and generations to come.

[Assasin]

Karl that is for the government to show that the phone is been abused if it is, but you can't just not pay it because you don't feel like.

Karl government move funds around but when people deductible are not been paid that is terrible, people house are been foreclosed and cars been repossessed. That is robbery, not moving funds around.
