PNP wants debate on censure motion resumed

Opposition spokesman on trade, industry and global logistics Anthony Hylton says the People’s National Party (PNP) is hoping Parliament will resume debate on the censure motion over Jamaica’s abstention on a United Nations (UN) resolution concerning Cuba, despite the Government’s position that the matter is closed.

Hylton also says the Government owes Cuban Ambassador Tania López Larroque an apology for inviting her to the House of Representatives on October 27 to hear debate on a motion supporting an end to the United States’ embargo against Cuba without disclosing that it was considering a change in Jamaica’s long-standing position on the issue.
