PM and other senior PNP officials file appeal against ruling by Constitutional Court

Oct 08, 2013

KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC - Two weeks after the Constitutional Court ruled that Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller and other leading members of the ruling People’s National Party (PNP) should answer questions from Dutch investigators under oath in open court , the ruling is being appealed.
The Dutch authorities want to question Prime Minister Simpson Miller,  PNP Chairman Robert Pickersgill, Energy Minister Phillip Paulwell, former legislator Colin Campbell and businessman Norton Hinds about a J$31 million (One Jamaica dollar = US$0.01 cents)  donation to the party by Dutch company Trafigura Beheer.
The appeal was filed last Friday. However a date for the hearing has not been set.
