Opposition
Leader, Bruce Golding, is insisting that the Government
should resign over the Trafigura Beheer scandal.
According
to Mr. Golding, the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) will
not accept the resignation of one or two Government
ministers over the issue.
"This
one will not go away like a nine-day wonder. We
are going to ensure that everything about this $31
million donation comes to light," he said.
Mr.
Golding was speaking during a tour of the North-West
St. Elizabeth constituency on the weekend.
Meanwhile,
the Private Sector Or-ganisation of Jamaica (PSOJ)
has expressed dissatisfaction with a directive from
Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller for the return
of the $31 million "donation".
According
to PSOJ president, Beverley Lopez, some serious
issues have still not been addressed.
"The
statement issued on behalf of the Prime Minister
indicating that the funds would be returned to Trafigura
does not address the fundamental concerns we have
in respect of why there is a contractual obligation
on the part of Trafigura to the CCOC Association
(sic)," she told The Gleaner yesterday.
"We
believe that more important issues will have to
be addressed and unless we see the original contract
that committed Trafigura to send this money to CCOC,
we are no closer to the truth," she said.
