Dear Editor,
Dr Herbert Thompson is someone I have admired for many years. I am very surprised that he could have exercised such poor judgement in receiving an award from the People's National Party.
His explanation that the award was for the Electoral Office of Jamaica and not for himself makes matters even worse because it brings that goog office into disrepute.
Dr Thompson must know that for any electoral official or representative even attending a function of that nature is improper and unacceptable.
There is a perception in the Jamaica Labour Party that the electoral offices covertly support's the People's National Party. I had always dismissed this idea as paranoia, but this award gives fodder to the argument.
One thing is certain, Dr Thompson no longer has the appearance of impartiality and neutrality required of his office. He should do the honourable thing and resign.
