Former Prime Minister Bruce Golding’s reminder that the impeachment bill he first tabled a decade and a half ago remains in legislative limbo and deserves a response from Prime Minister Andrew Holness on the current position on the issue.

The idea is one of the several governance-related proposals on which Dr Holness campaigned ahead his Jamaica Labour Party’s return to office that have seen little or no movement in the decade since he has been in office. Term limits for prime ministers, for instance, is another of them.

Mr Golding’s revival of the impeachment question as well as his separate recent intervention on the value of citizens’ oversight of government are likely to be good for the confidence of good-governance campaigners who often fall under searing criticism for public officials who feel themselves victimised.
