Sparks continued to fly on Tuesday at the Commission of Enquiry into the extradition of Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke now in progress in Kingston, Jamaica.
K.D. Knight QC, for the opposition Jamaica’s Peoples National Party (PNP) was in a combative mood, accusing attorney general and justice minister, Senator Dorothy Lightbourne of being “mendacious”, an allegation that was flatly denied by the minister.
Knight, who started his cross examination on Lightbourne on Monday, continued all morning on Tuesday and grilled the minister, but she stood her ground.
The Jamaica Gleaner reported that she has backed up claims by Prime Minister Bruce Golding that attorney at law Harold Brady was asked to resign from all government boards because he disobeyed his instructions for the Manatt matter to be kept strictly within the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP).
Brady has rejected the assertions that he was asked to resign from all state boards and that he stepped down from the JLP’s central executive because of his role in the Manatt matter.
The Gleaner reported that Brady is suing the prime minister for his comments over the matter.
