Depending on who you hear it from or who you
believe, the Minister of National Security, Peter Bunting was the victim of a crime over the weekend.
Perhaps sensing weakness in the government's
record on containing crime, the Opposition Shadow Minister, Delroy Chuck, has
moved in for the kill. According to the Gleaner:
'The Opposition Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) yesterday
remained unconvinced the country has heard the full story regarding an incident
involving National Security Minister Peter Bunting on Saturday night.
Yesterday Delroy Chuck, opposition spokesman on national
security, said he was concerned that there have been conflicting reports about
whether Bunting was held up or if a villa at which he was visiting friends in
Portland was burglarised.
... Chuck said he has been told by reliable sources that
Bunting was in fact held up.
"It is not only a question of whether or not the
allegations from persons who are in the know are true as against Mr Bunting's
word," Chuck said, "but more importantly, the items were recovered
rather quickly during the course of the night. How was that done? Was money
paid? And why is it no arrest has been made if the items were so quickly
recovered?"
Chuck is calling for
a full investigation into the matter'.
Really, now, Chuckie? Were you equally vociferous in your call for an
investigation into the Tivoli incursion in which almost a hundred innocent Jamaicans murdered by
the security or went missing while you were a part of the government?
Were you as forthright in demanding justice for Jamaicans who pay your
salary but yet continue to have justice delayed on account of the almost half million cases in backlog in the
court system while you were a member of the government?
