JAMAICA-POLITICS-Public Defender recommends Commission of Enquiry into Tivoli operation
KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC - Jamaica’s Public Defender, Earl Witter has recommended that a Commission of Enquiry be established to look into the incursion that took place in the Corporate Area community of Tivoli Gardens nearly three years ago as security officials went on the hunt for the then fugitive Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke. Witter, in presenting the long awaited “Tivoli Report” to Parliament on Wednesday, said there needed to be “a judicial enquiry into the activities of the State Security Forces and illegal gunmen during the State of Emergency, 2010.” Opposition Leader Andrew Holness in an immediate response said he does not favour a Commission of Inquiry and suggested that those directly affected by the Tivoli incursion would be better served by a process of restorative justice and monetary compensation from the State.
