JLP Reiterates Call for the PNP's Donovan Mitchell to Resign

 

Press Release From The Jamaica Labour Party - 20241014

Marlon Margon

Member of the Jamaica Labour Party's Communications Taskforce, Marlon Morgan, is reiterating the call for the immediate resignation of the PNP's Donovan Mitchell as Mayor of Mandeville and aspirant to contest the Manchester Central constituency.

Mr. Morgan says he considers as feeble and pitiful, the attempt by Mayor Mitchell on Sunday to justify his crass and offensive comment that there is nothing wrong with unexplained wealth. Mr. Morgan says Mayor Mitchell's assertion via a press release on Sunday that he was speaking sarcastically, is as ludicrous, offensive and asinine as his comments at last Thursday's meeting of the Manchester Municipal Corporation where he posited that there is nothing wrong with unexplained wealth. 

Mr. Morgan argued: "Donovan Mitchell is a senior member of the PNP and should be fully aware of the standards to which public officials are held. In circumstances where lives are being lost as a result of lottery scamming-related violence in the very municipality and parish over which he has superintendence as mayor, it is absolutely disturbing and insulting that Donovan Mitchell would expect the public to accept that he was merely speaking sarcastically. Unexplained wealth and lottery scamming are too serious a scourge in our society for any idle jesting or so-called sarcastic comments".

Morgan added: "What is particularly offensive in Mayor Mitchell's feeble justification is that he chose to conflate issues, deflect and remain wrong and strong as opposed to acknowledging his grave error of judgment. At no point in his 7 paragraphs long press release did Donovan Mitchell express regret or acknowledge that his comments had the effect of signalling support for lottery scamming and other illicit means of wealth accumulation.

In doubling down, Mayor Mitchell has insulted the intelligence of well-thinking Jamaican people and has further offended our sensibilities. The people of Manchester and Jamaica deserve much better public accountability and leadership than that being offered by Donovan Mitchell, and as such, he should resign forthwith".

With leadership like that in the parish no wonder it has become a haven for criminals. It doesn't not matter the political party, criminal leadership should not be tolerated.
