People’s National Party, PNP, general secretary, Dr. Dayton Campbell, says he will not apologise to East St. Thomas MP, the Jamaica Labour Party’s, JLP, Dr. Michelle Charles, over what he sees as legitimate questions about her renunciation of her US citizenship.
Dr. Campbell says the former PNP MP and candidate for the constituency, Dr. Fenton Ferguson, will be pursuing the matter in court.
The attorney representing Dr. Charles, Abe Daboub, says his firm was consulted concerning what she views as defamatory allegations and innuendos mounted against her by Dr. Campbell and members of the PNP. These involved questioning the legitimacy of her election to the House of Representatives.
Dr. Charles has repeatedly told Nationwide News that she is fully Jamaican.
In the letter, Mr. Dabdoub says contrary to the PNP’s allegations and innuendos, the member of parliament, MP, was duly and validly elected. It says Dr. Charles was a citizen of Jamaica, residing in Jamaica for more than 12 months before her nomination.
The letter says her allegiance is and was to Jamaica only, in keeping with the oath taken at the time of her swearing-in as an MP.
Mr. Dabdoub has demanded that Dr. Campbell publicly apologise for the allegations and innuendos about Dr. Charles.
But Dr. Campbell says he will not.
Dr. Dayton Campbell.
