⁠Golding Posts Passport to ‘Prove’ Jamaican Birth

Opposition Leader Mark Golding has shared a video on social media, showing what he says is proof that he is a born Jamaican.

This amid doubts over whether he was indeed born on the island amid debate over his declaration that he is a dual Jamaican/British citizen.

Mr. Golding has come under fire from the ruling JLP and users of social media over his continued membership of the House of Representatives as a dual citizen.

Golding is adamant that he is on the right side of the law as the constitution does allow a British national to sit in the Jamaican parliament.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.

Section 39 part ‘A’ of Jamaica’s Constitution, says any person, who at the date of their appointment or nomination for election, can serve in parliament as long as he or she is a Commonwealth citizen of the age of 21 years and upwards.
