President of the People’s National Party (PNP), Mark Golding has said that Prime Minister Andrew Holness should be disqualified from his post due to his uncertified annual declaration.

Golding made the comment while speaking at the PNP’s Papine divisional conference on Saturday at the University of the West Indies (UWI).

“The prime minister himself, his annual declarations cannot be certified and published in summary form by the Integrity Commission- three years,” Golding said.

“That alone disqualifies him from being Prime Minister,” Golding added.

Golding told comrades that the party’s performance in the local government elections, coupled with the pending general election, has the ruling Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) worried.

“The PNP is back,” declared Golding.

“Them a try and deflect from the real issues of the day, them under whole heap of pressure. The local government elections mash up them vibes because Jamaica show them that we serious,” he added.

According to Golding, the ruling party has run out of ideas. He then added that the mission of his party was to fix Jamaica.

“They really have nowhere going. They have been unable to deliver high levels of economic growth. We set the economy on a stable trajectory, a stable path, bringing down the public debt. It started under our watch. Nuff sacrifice the Jamaican people mek for that to happen, good management, good policies. And they have maintained those fiscal policies to keep the debt coming down but they can’t deliver any kind of growth that can lift our country from where it is now to a place where they really have prosperity,” Golding said

“Comrades, we have to fix Jamaica. That is our mission. That is our responsibility,” Golding added.

Golding also used the occasion to reiterate that not only was he born and raised in Jamaica but had a family legacy, through his father, that showed his commitment to the country, citing the John Golding Rehabilitation Centre and the Hope Valley Experimental School.
