Click to view full size

Government senator Marlon Morgan has called for the reintroduction of criminal sanctions for defamation in Jamaica.

Making his contribution to the State of the Nation Debate in the Upper House on Friday, Morgan took aim at the parliamentary Opposition and those he referred to as their surrogates and supporters on social media, blasting them for tarnishing people’s reputation.

He warned that the misinformation and disinformation being peddled by these persons serve to undermine the country’s democracy.
