GENERAL secretary of the Opposition People’s National Party (PNP) Paul Burke says a campaign of “lies, half-truths, misinformation, and disinformation” has been waged against him by members of the party.

Member of Parliament for St Ann South Eastern and former Youth and Culture Minister Lisa Hanna yesterday tabled a no-confidence motion against Burke during a meeting of the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) at the Jamaica Conference centre, following the party’s shock defeat in the February 25 General Election. The motion was seconded by Nigel Moore.

“I know most of the players. I know their motives and money power. I also know how and where they got some of this money from,” Burke said.

“Yes, I am responsible for some things, but not for deception or betrayal, media leaks or deliberate plants, not for so-called conspiracies, nor rushed ambitions,” he added.

Things falling apart

This could never have happened under the great PJ Patterson.

[Sir X]

I think Gamma hinted at some rumblings before the election, I guess this is it .

[Mosiah]

Gamma is a member of the NEC?

PJ was a good politician...but an abject failure as PM

Portia is bad both in politics and as PM

Termites need a wash out or dem fi get spray out

[Sir X]

Being a member or not of anything , deprives one of commenting on an issue ?

I don't know Gamma business maybe you do.

[Mosiah]

How it reach deh so? Mi aks a simple question.

I have been following Lisa on FB for the last few months, and since the election loss she has pushing this "Renewal Now" message very strongly. At first it came across as a benign call for the party to re-evaluate itself after the loss, but subsequent posts have made it clear that she is targeting the PNP leadership, though not Portia directly...yet.

It is going to be very interesting to watch how this will shake out.

[Sir X]

Yuh fi ansa

[Sir X]

Good stuff.

[Mosiah]

Talk about good stuff - unnu see Lisa election campaign billboards in her constituency? They are huge and glamorous and very orange! You'd think she had won the Miss World title all over again!

I suspect, like other banners I have seen, there was some Photoshopping involved. Nobody cyaan pretty suh!

She nuh need dat atall...chuss mi

[Don1]

She is a smart woman...appears determined & strong as well

The key issue for me is whether she has or can develop key partnerships within the Termite leadership to achieve her near term objectives....whatever those may be

That's the big unknown...but Burke is clearly Obstacle #1
