Building a Better Jamaica

Minister of State in the Ministry of Transport and Works, the Honourable Othneil Lawrence, MP and President of Generation 2000 (G2K), Delano Seiveright are among four young JLP and G2K leaders who will on Monday August 8 depart Jamaica for a ten day visit to China as official guests of the Communist Party of China (CPC). They will visit the cities of Beijing, Taiyuan and Dalian. The delegation is being led by the Honourable Othneil Lawrence.

The Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) has taken note of the report of the Commissioners who enquired into the Coke Extradition request and the engagement of Manatt, Phelps and Phillips (MPP).

The JLP is satisfied that the Commissioners have considered the main issues that were put before them and made findings and recommendations in respect of the issues.

Chairman of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), the Honourable Mike Henry met with former Member of Parliament for South West St. Catherine Everald Warmington this afternoon.

Mr. Henry pointed out that all members of the Party must at all times show respect and good order to all citizens including members of the press. This he said is a standard by which the JLP has been grounded since its formation. It is after all incumbent on us as leaders in the society to set a good example as we seek to build a society predicated on strong morals and values.

JLP candidate for General Secretary Daryl Vaz today categorically denied allegations that he owes hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes to the state. Mr. Vaz said further that as at November 2010 based on a current agreement with Tax Department neither he personally nor does any company that he is involved with have any outstanding matters with the Tax Department.
