Delroy Chuck clutches his pearls and demands that public money be wasted on inquiry based on hearsay

Now, if this is not barefaced hypocrisy, I don't know what is.

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'.

                               Now, all he needs is a standpipe for the suss and labrish.

                                                               Fall guy?

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?

Daryl Vaz thinks he's Nelson Mandela but continues to dig himself a deeper hole ...

This is hilarious. 

According to today's issue of the Jamaica Observer newspaper:

"Even Nelson Mandela got justice after 27 years. It's my time now," Vaz insisted.

And the reason for this cry for justice?

'For 27 years, Daryl Wesley Vaz has been locked up in a prison of pain and hurt, dogged through every phase of his life by the nastiest of orchestrated rumours that, among other things, he raped and murdered Smith, a student of the Immaculate Conception High School'.

                                                                     No sir, you are no Nelson Mandela.

I don't know who counselled Daryl Vaz to agree to be interviewed for this article. Because all I know is that what used to be whispered about and what the newspapers could not dare print on account of Mr Vaz's penchant for suing people for libel, is now officially out there. The Observer could not have printed the story and Vaz's name in the same sentence on account of Jamaica's strict libel laws. So, I find it perplexing that he would do this and I wonder if he has, unwittingly, given the media the greenlight to mention the incident (and naming him) in the future? Did he waive his rights to sue in the future should such a question be asked by some enterprising reporter or some daring op-ed columnist? Anyway, the moral of the story is that although he is a successful politician, Vaz is no Teflon Kid.

Vaz wishes he were Nelson Mandela. Mr Mandela is a man of honour. He commands respect. He is champion of human rights. The same cannot be said for Vaz. He sat in Parliament for a year and half when he knew that, as an American citizen, he was not constitutionally qualified to do so. Our tax dollars paid his salary as a MP and Minister even though he should not have been collecting either and Vaz has demonstrated that he is willing to trample on other people's rights and dignity as human beings. 

Yet another attempt by Barbadian officials to debase and strip-search Jamaicans

Billions was spent building a new law faculty for Jamaicans to stay here and not suffer humiliation at the hands of Barbadians and yet this still continues?


Time to boycott Barbados, time to leave Caricom.
