The governing Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) has suggested that Opposition Leader Mark Golding failed to condemn statements allegedly made by two senior People's National Party (PNP) figures in a leaked audio recording, describing his response as "shameful and a disgrace".

The voices in the recording discussed possible ways to discredit Major General Antony Anderson in his role as head of the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA), while acknowledging his excellent track record in the various public offices he has held.

Golding, in an address to the PNP's National Executive Council (NEC) on Sunday, said the conversations in the leaked recordings did not take place in any official PNP forum and that no officer of the party participated in the discussions.
