Bruce must go, but then what?

The Editor, Sir:

After listening with horror to the prime minister's confession in the Coke-Manatt affair, I immediately said, "He needs to resign!". For at least the next two hours, I was furious and saying to anyone who would listen, "Bruce needs to go."

However, after I had absorbed the news and began to think, I realised, if Bruce goes, who will replace him? In the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), there is no one who seems to be able to lead themselves much less the country. Then I looked at the People's National Party (PNP) and realised that there was nothing to look at.

As it stands, the PNP has descended on this issue, but who in the PNP has any moral authority to speak for Jamaica? That party is no more than a party of individuals who are just conveniently banding together to gain political power.

After we chase Bruce out, what solutions are the PNP going to come with? How will they deal any differently with crime or the debt? They were the initial farmers of the downward spiral in which we find ourselves, so what difference will they make?

No honour

Bruce, you gave up your honour for a man who is too cowardly to come and face the courts himself. I could understand the issue behind the wiretap - somewhat - but now you are being made to look like a fool. Jamaica has been made to look like a country of 'shady' men.

Bruce, you have placed yourself in a corner and have nowhere to go. My advice to you, even though I am mad with you, is look toward the Almighty as there is your only hope for redemption.

I am, etc.,
