The Opposition
People's National Party (PNP) continues to raise questions regarding the Manatt
Phelps and Phillips issue.
The matter came
up at Sunday's meeting of the party's National Executive Council (NEC) in
Montego Bay.
Mrs. Simpson-Miller says too many questions are yet to be answered by the Prime Minister regarding Harold Brady's role in the issue.
She told the NEC and delegates at Wexford Court Hotel that until the unanswered questions are addressed, the government should remove Mr. Brady from the boards of all public bodies.
She says if Mr. Brady was not acting on behalf of the government then he would have been impersonating a government official, which is inappropriate.
The PNP President wants the General Legal Council to investigate Mr. Brady's actions.
She also raised several questions regarding a meeting involving the Solicitor General and representatives of Manat Phelps and Philips.
She told the NEC and delegates who gathered at the Wexford Court Hotel that the Prime minister should do the right thing, noting that if it were any member of the NEC which had acted in any corrupt manner, they would have already been booted.
Mrs. Simpson-Miller also chided the Prime Minister for what she described as his interference in legal issues, emphasizing that certain matters are not to be touched by the Prime Minister.
The meeting ended on Sunday afternoon with Mrs. Simpson-Miller lauding Dr Peter Phillips on his role in demanding that the Prime Minister comes clean on the issue.
Over the past two weeks the Bruce Golding administration has been trying to fend off claims that it was aware of contractual arrangements between Mr. Brady and the US based law firm.
