SPEAKER of the House of Representatives Juliet Holness was forced to call a five-minute recess during Wednesday’s sitting of Parliament after the proceedings descended into what has become the usual noisy crosstalk and barbs thrown by both Government and Opposition members at each other.

It followed a statement from National Security Minister Dr Horace Chang about the decision by the Jamaican Government to enter into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the United States of America about Jamaica accommodating third-country nationals (TCN).

As the sitting descended into chaos, and as the Speaker indicated that the Member of Parliament (MP) for Westmoreland Western Dr Dayton Campbell was openly defying her rulings by persisting with the same question, Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness could be heard, off microphone, telling Campbell, “You are a bully” numerous times.
