Prime Minister and Member of Parliament for West Kingston, Bruce Golding, has called on members of his constituency to remain calm and to continue to go about their legitimate business despite the tension that exists.
He said they should allow the courts to deal with the extradition matter.
The Prime Minister said he was concerned about the roadblocks that have been mounted in sections of the constituency.
‘I have been assured that the security forces are determined to carry out their duties in a professional manner in order to prevent any recurrence of the terrible atrocities that occurred in 2001’ He urged his constituents to cooperate with the security forces in the lawful execution of their duties.
Mr. Golding gave the re-assurance in the wake of widespread media reports that the residents of Tivoli Gardens were under siege, residents were being held as hostages and concerns about unlawful activities in the West Kingston constituency over the ‘extradition’ issue.
He noted that despite the tense atmosphere that prevails, commercial and social activities in West Kingston remain normal and people continue to go about their normal business.
Schools are fully functional, Coronation Market and the rest of the market district are doing brisk business and persons who travel to work or do business in the area continue to do so.
