As Jamaica’s Manatt Commission of Enquiry draws to a close, Prime Minister Bruce Golding said that he had not tipped off former Tivoli Gardens strongman Christopher “Dudus” Coke after Jamaica received the United States’ extradition request. “I have not seen or spoken to Coke for at least a year and a half before the extradition request,” he said. According to the prime minister, the last time the two spoke was in Christmas 2007. Golding also declined to withdraw a comment he made in earlier testimony claiming that United States Charge d’Affaires Isaiah Parnell’s conduct during the extradition process constituted harassment.
