KINGSTON – The main opposition People’s National Party (PNP) on Sunday made a new play for the leadership of the country, with party leader Portia Simpson Miller blasting Prime Minister Bruce Golding for everything, from his government’s handling of domestic crime and economic challenges to a recent scathing attack on fellow Caribbean Community (CARICOM) leaders.
Simpson Miller, whose PNP was hurled from power here and into opposition following the September 2007 general elections, used the close of her party’s convention to make a fresh bid for re-election.
A re-invigorated Simpson Miller, who recently had her leadership mandate renewed by party delegates, called on Jamaicans to hold the Prime Minister and his ruling Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) accountable for the promises they made to the electorate.
She also appealed directly to the Prime Minister not to destroy Jamaica’s relationship with its CARICOM neighbors after Golding, speaking at a function in New York City late last month, accused unnamed regional leaders of going from capital to capital across the globe like "panhandlers on the street begging the world for assistance".
