The People's National Party (PNP) has threatened legal action against the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) for what it describes as baseless and defamatory attacks.
It described the JLP's claims as desperate and an attempt to mislead Jamaicans and distract from the government's corruption scandals.
In the press conference on Thursday, the JLP reiterated its call for Dr. Dayton Campbell to resign from his posts as PNP General Secretary, a Commissioner of the Electoral Commission of Jamaica and Opposition Spokesman on Agriculture after publication of an alleged leaked conversation between himself and ousted PNP caretaker, Lawrence Rowe.
It also called for Mayor of Kingston Andrew Swaby to resign amid the allegations of misuse of funds in the Kingston and St. Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC).
But in a media release Thursday afternoon, the PNP said it has full confidence in its General Secretary, Dr. Dayton Campbell, and the Mayor of Kingston, Councillor Andrew Swaby, who it claims have been unjustly targeted.
The party said the malicious and politically motivated accusations—without a shred of credible evidence—are nothing more than a cowardly attempt to deflect attention from the JLP's governance failures.
The PNP said it challenges the JLP and its operatives to present legitimate evidence to support its claims or immediately cease these defamatory attacks.
The PNP has also called for law enforcement agencies to clarify whether any investigation is indeed underway, adding that those involved should be informed through due process rather than subjected to the JLP's political theatrics.
The opposition party said while the JLP wages a campaign of lies and deception, Jamaicans continue to suffer under its failing leadership.
