CARICOM divide deepen-Tufton fires back after Nicholson dismisses proposal to withdraw regional body
Aug 02, 2013
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Gleaner - The rhetorical fisticuffs between the Government and the Opposition over Jamaica's continued participation in CARICOM became more intense yesterday, with the opposition spokesman on trade, Dr Chris Tufton, berating remarks by his government counterpart, A.J. Nicholson, who wants no part in any suggestion about a temporary withdrawal from CARICOM.
The suggestion was made by the leadership of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), but Nicholson strongly advised against it in the Senate on Wednesday.
Yesterday, the JLP spokesman hit back saying that Nicholson's remarks were "academic in its construct and misleading in its content."
