Prime Minister Andrew Holness is facing more criticism for stating that it would be premature at this time to consider axing Dr. Andrew Wheatley from the list of JLP candidates for the next general election in the wake of the Integrity Commission's report on Petrojam.
Dr. Wheatley, the former energy minister, was labelled as dishonest in the report.
Attorney-at-law Clive Munroe Jr has questioned how the Prime Minister determines that a political representative is worthy of a second chance.
"It's hard to accept what the Prime Minister has said when you have former minister Reid as the comparator. What is it that made former minister Reid so different from minister Wheatley? The only discernible difference you can see is that one is more expendable than the other. And when one looks at it in that context, you can't help but feel that the adjudication standard to determine who should get that redemption isn't as even as it should be... I think that there would have been, even on a political basis, much more merit to be gained by doing the right thing than kicking the can down the road because it would show to people that I am a man of my word," he argued.
He was speaking Sunday on Radio Jamaica's weekly news review programme That's a Rap.
