Deputy Leader of the Jamaica Labour Party, Desmond McKenzie, says he’s deeply hurt by the controversial utterances by representatives of the Jamaica Progressive Party, JPP.
The JPP, a third political party consisting primarily of pastors, has announced a raft of plans including transforming Jamaica into a kingdom, repaying all Jamaica’s debt and implementing the death penalty for all gang members and drug traffickers.
Mr McKenzie says the party should not be taken seriously.
The JPP is led by Gilbert Alexander Edwards.
They claim to have standard bearers for all 63 constituencies to contest the September 3 General Election.
The party stoked controversy when it announced its leader will use his own money to clear all 2-trillion dollars worth of Jamaica’s debt within the first 90 days, if elected.
Mr McKenzie says he finds some public utterances of Church representatives wanting.
Mr McKenzie says the JPP’s arguments are insane.
Mr McKenzie says no one should take the JPP seriously.
