Dear Editor,
One of the main commentators of the documentary broadcasted on A&E, the Biography Channel, titled “Gangster: America’s Most Evil“ was the Security Minister Peter Bunting. He made, in my opinion, many potentially libelous comments about the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and associates of Christopher “Dudus” Coke and the extradition debacle.
It appears that Minister Bunting’s comments run counter to what Jamaica has been projecting to the world — that we are easy-going, peaceful and loving people and you can come to our shores any time for fun and sun.
He has declared that Jamaica is one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in the world, and Christopher “Dudus” Coke helped to bankroll the JLP. He even went as far as to say that several policemen died in Tivoli Gardens and, as far as I can remember, there was only one soldier that died in Tivoli.
There are many questions that the citizens of Jamaica need to ask Minister Bunting, such as, are you trying to gain political mileage? Did you vet your facts before you disseminated them? Was this interview sanctioned by the People’s National Party or did you speak on the grounds of being a private citizen? Why didn’t you pray for divine intervention to keep you from spewing negative news on an international podium, in helping to derail the positive spotlight and inroads the Jamaica Tourist Board and Jamaica Promotion Corporation (JAMPRO) has gained over recent years?
Minister Bunting, the Jamaican populace is awaiting your prompt response to the questions posed.
