OPPOSITION LEADER Bruce Golding says he has no memory of ever announcing that he was abandoning the bipartisan talks between the Government and his Jamaica Labour Party (JLP).
"I don't know what the Prime Minister is talking about. What did I announce?, I have no recollection of that," stressed Mr. Golding as he hurried from the Hardware Merchants' Association's annual luncheon yesterday at the Knutsford Court Hotel.
The JLP leader was responding to comments made by Prime Minister P.J. Patterson that Mr. Golding "without any prior warning chose to announce in September 2005, that your party had determined to discontinue the process of bipartisan dialogue."
NO PRIOR CONSULTATION
The allegation formed part of a missive, copied to the media, which Mr. Patterson wrote in response to Mr. Golding's letter to him expressing his disappointment that there was no prior consultation with the Opposition prior to the selection of Professor Kenneth Hall as the next Governor-General.
