JACDEN: THE SCANDAL THAT REFUSES TO SIT DOWN

The UHWI tax probe keeps producing headlines and the opposition keeps producing statements. JACDEN CEO Dennis Gordon, who is also an opposition shadow cabinet member, was told by Opposition Leader Mark Golding to step aside from the PAC and shadow cabinet pending the probe. Gordon’s response was essentially: no crime, no resign. Which is a position that has been taken before in Jamaican politics, usually by people who later regret taking it. The investigation concerns alleged tax irregularities at the University Hospital. The public is watching. The process is slow. Both of these things are very Jamaican.
