Reading the article Not Important in the Gleaner Oct.26, 08 it stated that Mr. Seaga gave up his American citizenship in order to serve in Jamaica’s Parliament. This is very interesting seeing the presently we have Members of Parliament who were allowed to run and are presently in the parliament. I think this is wrong and should be stopped immediately. If Mr. Seaga had to give up his America citizen then they should have given up theirs too before they decided to run. It is not only the responsibility of commission of election but also the responsibility of the person running to know the constitution that governs the country.

The court time should not be wasted trying such cases. These members of parliament should be disqualified without this rigmarole. Every one know that Mr. Sega was not born in Jamaica they could have seek his advise regarding the situation and we would not be having this argument. I respected Mr. Seaga for doing the right thing. He did not try to fool people or disregard the constitution.
