SAVANNA-LA-MAR, Westmoreland — Opposition senator Marlene Malahoo Forte, who was suspended from Friday’s sitting of the Senate, displayed a copy of the letter from the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC), which in 2010 offered to sit in Jamaica on certain conditions.

The JLP senator was suspended from the Senate on Friday for failing to produce a copy of the letter.

“I held up the letter in Parliament, I read from the letter in Parliament and they are giving the people the impression that no such letter exists. Here it is, here it is, here it is, here it is, here it is, here it is,” Malahoo Forte noted during a her presentation at the JLP Area Council Four meeting in Savanna-la-Mar, last evening.

She further noted that the Government senators were embarrassed because she was able to access a copy of the letter and they couldn’t.

“Let me tell you something, I gave a commitment that I would give them. They vex with me because I could call high places to get the document. It burn them, it burn them, it burn them. If they were diligent in their work when the Leader of the Opposition mentioned the same letter in his speech in the Lower House, if they really wanted to find out what better choices they can make on behalf of the people of Jamaica until we fully sort out our affairs, they would have gone in search of the letter,” the suspended senator argued.

“And the fact that they said they couldn’t find it in the ministry (of justice) they could have done the same thing like me to get a copy of the letter and that is how you work diligently.”

She questioned the logics in suspending her until the document was produced.

“They suspend me until I present the letter. What opportunity will I have to present it so it goes on the record of Parliament that I have in fact produced it? I must send it outside of the Parliament? I don’t think that is wise because I might hear that I did not send it at all. But the letter is here,” Malahoo Forte remarked.
