JFJ: Jamaicans Will Have to Make ‘Value Judgement’ on Dual Citizen MPs

The Chairman of Jamaicans for Justice, John Clarke, says the matter of whether Jamaicans will accept dual citizens sitting in parliament and passing laws will ultimately come down to a value judgement.

Mr. Clarke was reacting to news that Opposition Leader, Mark Golding, is a dual citizen.

Mr. Golding is a Jamaican citizen by birth and a UK citizen by descent. 

Speaking on Nationwide at Five, Mr. Clarke says it’s sad that Jamaicans wanting to serve in Parliament have had to renounce their dual citizenship.
