Jamaica Council of Churches, The Church of God in Jamaica, The Jamaica Association of Evangelicals, The Jamaica Association of Full Gospel Churches and The Jamaica Pentecostal Union

"We are deeply disappointed at the way in which events have unfolded and are of the view that the actions have done serious damage to his credibility as prime minister and to the name and image of our country."

Jamaicans for Justice

"He has abused the trust of the citizens and compromised our standing in the international community. The fitness to lead of the prime minister and members of his government has been irretrievably compromised. A prime minister whose word cannot be trusted cannot remain in office. Jamaicans for Justice calls for his resignation."

Families Against State Terrorism

"I believe Golding is his own problem and that he should leave before his reputation disintegrates any further."

PNP Youth Organisation

"Understanding the Government is obviously void of morals, we are not surprised that the prime minister did not end his presentation with a resignation, but wish to recommend to the prime minister that this step needs to be taken with immediate effect."

PNP Patriots

"The people of Jamaica need focused, capable, reliable and able leadership at this time, and a fresh mandate must be sought from the people as to who we believe is best able to earn and deserve our trust and confidence and to lead the country at this time. Contemporary democracy demands no less. Mr Golding should resign."

Centre for Leadership

"We believe that the prime minister of Jamaica should resign with immediate effect. He no longer has the moral authority to govern or lead."

Jamaicans United For Sustainable Development

"We join the call for the resignation of Prime Minister Bruce Golding so that the country may begin to formulate a new and credible government to guide the country's affairs through the immediate challenges that face us."

PNP Women's Movement

"The Women's Movement is of the strong view that the prime minister has lost any moral authority to lead the campaign for responsible, accountable and transparent government and must do the decent thing and resign with immediate effect."

National Democratic Movement

"The NDM is of the view that Golding's admission that he sanctioned the engagement of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips on behalf of the JLP and yet was dishonest to the country in Parliament, and continued to do so for several weeks, he has compromised the integrity of the Government that he leads and deceived the people of Jamaica."

• Stay, PM

Generation 2000

"Having laid the cards squarely on the table, the prime minister has reopened the door that holds full honesty and transparency. The positive direction that can now be achieved for Jamaica is profound, and his honesty and forthrightness have ensured that Prime Minister Bruce Golding continues to enjoy the full support and endorsement of G2K."

Women's Freedom Movement & National Organisation of Women

"The rebuilding of Jamaica must not be stalled. The WFM and NOW place the full weight of their support behind Prime Minister Bruce Golding and call upon all well-thinking Jamaicans to put the interest of our country first, and to maintain focus on laying a firm foundation for a prosperous and secure Jamaica."

Government senators

"As government senators, we remain convinced that Prime Minister Bruce Golding's leadership of the country is required to continue the turnaround of the Jamaican economy, which is taking place, and to put Jamaica on a safe path for the future."

Jamaica Chamber of Commerce

"The nation has been misled, and as a result, the prime minister has lost our respect and confidence. In order to commence the extremely difficult task of restoring that respect, confidence and honour, the prime minister should start with an apology to the nation."

Lawyers Christian Fellowship

We truly pray that our leaders will be humble enough to seek God so that God may grant to them true wisdom, which only comes from Him, and that justice and truth will become our vanguard in this Jamaica, land we love.

• Yet To Decide

Private Sector umbrella group

"In light of the recent developments surrounding the extradition and Manatt affairs, the organisations this morning asked for a suspension of today's PFT meeting agenda in order to canvass their members to decide on the way forward."

Jamaica Employers' Federation

"What we believe, in light of what happened a few days ago, is that the groups need to consult their members, because there are some strong feelings on what has happened."

Jamaica Confederation of Trade Unions

"The JCTU executives will meet on Monday to discuss the implications of all that has transpired as it relates to what we are trying to achieve under the social partnership."
