Opposition Leader Mark Golding has launched a scathing attack against the current Andrew Holness lead government, labelling it as the most corrupt in Jamaica’s history.

Golding was addressing supporters of the People’s National Party (PNP) during a divisional conference at Belfield Primary yesterday afternoon.

The opposition leader, who was in a somewhat militant mood, claimed the government has failed to protect the people of Jamaica, who he says have been hard hit by escalating food and gas prices.

According to Golding, despite warnings and dialogue held with Prime Minister Holness, and Minister of Finance, Nigel Clarke, no consideration has been given to increasing the minimum wage or further assistance to the most vulnerable in the society.

“When you check a stock, nine thousand ($9,000) divided by forty in a forty hour working week is $225. A patty selling for two hundred and forty ($240), so one hour of work caan (can’t) even buy a patty during the minimum wage,” said Golding.

The PNP leader said that he is ready and prepared to assume poll-position so that “people power” will be restored.

“The people of Jamaica are depending on the PNP to do it again for them because the corner weh dem inna look dark. And we are here to bring some light, and the sunlight is the best disinfectant when we know we have a rotten corrupt government,” he added.
