In this same vein, the heavy-handed decision to have the Office of the Political Ombudsman subsumed in the Electoral Commission of Jamaica despite strident calls from the Opposition PNP and civil society is yet another glaring example of the Government using its big majority in a bullying way.
Then again, perhaps the icing on the cake is the tenuous relationship which exists between the Government and the Integrity Commission; the gag order; and the ongoing cloak-and-dagger mystery surrounding the so-called saga of the “Illicit Six”. All have been denying the people of this country one of the luxuries of our democracy, which is accountability, transparency, and probity in the handling of the people’s business, not the JLP’s or Prime Minister Holness’s business! Lest we forget, in Jamaican parlance, we must “tek sleep mark death”! And there is something known as a creeping dictatorship.
