Why no local probe of Olint?
The Gleaner article dated August 21, titled 'Olint boss unlikely to face local courts', raises many important questions. Quotes from Assistant Commissioner Green beg the question why was Jamaica not the first or indeed even the last to have brought charges against David Smith, who got so many Jamaicans to invest and lose so much money in his investment scheme?
It seems amazing to me that this is how Jamaicans are treated by their own law-enforcement forces, while Turks and Caicos Islands, and now the USA, are protecting their citizens.
It has long been whispered in knowledgeable but silent circles that the reasons relate to his being well-connected to political and other bigwigs who were deeply involved in the venture. Could there be truth to this? If not, how can it be explained to those of us who were victims?

The Manatt issue
This Manatt issue will not die, Mr Prime Minister.
Nowhere else in the world could this have happened and the solicitor general, the attorney general and the prime minister still have a job.
Only in Jamaica - the land where there are no rules!
Black leadership rarely accepts responsibility and do the honourable thing and resign, hence it's always 'war' to get rid of them.

Resign now
Bruce, Douglas and Dorothy need to resign now. Not next week or next month but immediately. There are others in the party that can lead. Andrew Holness can take up the mantle.
They are quick to fire commissioners of police, directors of the Bank of Jamaica, Students' Loan Bureau director for 'misconduct' or shortcomings, yet they have done far worst and refuse to step aside. It's time that the people of Jamaica fire these people of double standards.
