Jamaica - 2 Nov 2005 - So you think PMPM has Problems?

How about the problems this politician has?

The cops want to talk to his son, who they link with the Clansman, the gang that Bulbie was the head of. The politician's son, known as Devil, has been implicated in a number of murders in the area over the past few months.

The PNP are presently the ruling party in Jamaica and have been for over a decade.

The following quote demonstrates the link between political parties and these "gunman":

Clansman, whose members are known to be aligned to the ruling PNP, and One Order, whose members support the Opposition Jamaica Labour Party, are the two main gangs operating in Spanish Town and have been engaged in deadly fights for turf and control of the city's extortion rackets.

Scores of people have been killed in the fights, which often take on a political complexion, involving communities that support either of the two major parties.

On Monday, at the height of the unrest in Spanish Town, Wade said that Bennett (Bulbie - ed.), who had eluded the police for a decade, and his gang had received some support from the PNP.

"We can't deny that," Wade said on radio. ".We have persons who are fully elected members supporting the criminal activities of this man."


I think it unlikely that this politician will hand over his son. To do so would threaten his base, ie. the Clansman gang.

I will follow this and let you know if "Devil" is handed over.
