Former Prime Minister of Jamaica and Statesman-in-residence, PJ Patterson has expressed concerns regarding the indecision on not having an agreement from both Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Opposition Leader Mark Golding on the changing of the constitutional monarchy to a Jamaican republic.
Patterson was speaking at the Faculty of Law, Lecture Theatre11 at the University of the West Indies recently and asked that both Prime Minister Holness and Leader of the Opposition Golding come together and decide, and if necessary, call on members from both political parties who can help. “It is one Jamaica; we show we are capable of greatness. I am not suggesting that political contest cease, and rivalry and debate discontinue. What I am saying is that there are some issues that are compelling…we are destroying ourselves,” he declared.
