“Party Leaders Can’t Fire MPs”: O’Brien Chang Discusses Disparity in Holness/Phillips Handling of Scandals

Political Analyst, Kevin O’Brien Chang says a Prime Minister or Opposition Leader cannot fire a Member of Parliament. 

But, he notes the disparity in the current handling of the scandals by both Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Opposition Leader Dr Peter Phillips.

His comments follow calls for the two major parties to not field politicians named in recent scandals in the upcoming General Election.

Mr O’brien Chang says whether the embattled and accused politicians are included in the parties’ slate of candidates for the country’s next General Election should be a decision for the delegates.
