‘We don’t support criminals and bad man’
Holness sends message to people pushing violence
Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) Leader Dr Andrew Holness went to the troubled Kingston Central constituency Thursday with a clear message for people fomenting violence: “Tek weh yuhself.”
“When dem come wid dat I say ‘Get behind me, Satan!’ We say that to those who are coming to push violence. We are not into any violence. All a who a drive ‘round inna car and a shoot after people, we know who you are, and we are going to deal with you. All of who is in badness, tek weh yuhself. We are not into war, we don’t support criminals and bad man, and we don’t want no criminal around wi. We want peace in our communities. If you want peace, your only choice is to vote for the Jamaica Labour Party,” Holness said to scores of JLP supporters who marched with him and Kingston Central Member of Parliament Donovan Williams on the tour.
Holness said the JLP is not calling for blood and fire for anybody as it is a party of peace. At the same time, he made it clear that the party harbours no fear of anyone.
“Let it be understood clearly that we fear no one. They have a saying in Jamaica: Duppy know who fi frighten,” he said.
