Dear Editor,
No more than two days after the Constitutional Court made its ruling on undated letters of resignation, I would have made a televised address to the nation, which would say something like this:
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I would like to take the opportunity of expressing my sincere apology for the role I played in using undated letters of resignation to keep senators in line with my vision regarding the Caribbean Court of Justice. I beg your forgiveness and, most importantly, I humbly beg the forgiveness of Senator Arthur Williams and Senator Christopher Tufton.
I fully accept the ruling of the Constitutional Court that those undated letters of resignation were unconstitutional and unlawful, and as such, I have communicated to Senator Arthur Williams and Senator Christopher Tufton that I am rueful of my action towards them, and would like them to start attending to the business of the Senate effective immediately.
Though my action of hanging undated letters over my senators' heads can be rightfully considered as vindictive, I must say that I had never sought to act in any way contrary to the Constitution and laws of Jamaica.
In closing, let me say that I have already contacted Ruel Reid and Dr Nigel Clarke to humbly ask them not to attend anymore Senate meetings. I thank you.
