THERE will be no further sitting of the Commission of Enquiry into the handling of the extradition request for Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke.
After 44 days of testimony, the enquiry, which was held at the Jamaica Conference Centre in downtown Kingston, was adjourned last Friday, with a resumption date set for tomorrow, in the event that there were additional witnesses to be called.
However, the the commission announced today that it will have no further sitting. It is expected that Commissioners, Emil George, Anthony Irons and Donald Scharschmidt, will submit their final report on or before May 16.
Although there were 44 days of testimony, the Commissioners actually met for 45 days, as they held their first meeting on December 6, 2010.
The commission was established by Prime Minister Bruce Golding last October to enquire into the issues relating to the extradition request by the Government of the United States for Christopher Coke, as well as the hiring of the United States law firm, Manatt, Phelps and Phillips.
