"There was a situation where people bought properties for investment from Olint money, hoping to get expatriate (mainly) USD rentals, but this has been much harder to come by," she told the Sunday Business.

Other members of the Church must be careful that they, too, do not become complacent about crime because they are indirectly benefiting from it. The reality is that if the ill-gotten gain coming into the Church's coffers is addressed, the financial state of that Church will be negatively affected. We must never forget Jesus' action in dealing with ill-gotten gain in the temple, he overthrew the money tables and whipped them out of there. We, as the church, must be careful not to be profiting from ill-gotten gains.

In the last election campaign, when both political parties were accepting massive funding from the most visible of non-compliers with our tax laws, did either of them bat an eye?

Others had predicted that the Government would have been clientelist, that is, satisfying the interests of the most powerful groups - or clients within those old structures - responsible for its election funding. Most had not quite expected the actual outcome: bungling. Many are beginning to use this word more and more. It cannot be transformational and bungling at the same time. It cannot be effectively clientelist while it is bungling, because even if the interests it serves are limited, those interests will be badly served. This seems to be reflected more and more not just in what is being said about this government, but who is saying it.

Suffice it to say that we do not think -- given some of the characters that this Government has embraced -- that it would be too much of a leap for it to recognise and acknowledge the opportunities inherent in the UK Government's Facilitated Returns Scheme.
We are prepared to believe that an ex-convict with more than half-a-million Jamaican dollars to his credit is a much better candidate for rehabilitation into our society than one without.
Better yet, an ex-convict with half-a-million Jamaican dollars plus some intervention in the form of government training to constructively employ his resources.
That, as opposed to bellyaching about the wickedness of the scheme, is perhaps where the debate should be going at this time.
For given the free rein that some questionable characters in this country enjoy, one might well be forgiven for asking who are we to oppose the return of our 'tainted' Jamaican brothers and sisters?
At least they, unlike their high-profile counterparts, have paid, in part, for their sins.

6. OLINT and its offshoots also operated elsewhere in the Caribbean. In April 2006, OLINT claimed that it had been authorized to conduct investment business in St. Kitts, and the St. Kitts Financial Services Commission issued an advisory that this was not the case. However, the founder of OLINT subsequently established a company called OLINT TCI in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Schemes were established in Grenada, Dominica, and St. Lucia to channel funds into OLINT TCI. The Grenada regulatory authorities invited the Eastern Caribbean Securities and Regulatory Commission (ECSRC) to determine whether the latter had jurisdiction, and the ECSRC issued cease and desist orders against schemes in Grenada and Dominica in May 2008. In July 2008, the Financial Crimes Unit of the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force raided the offices of OLINT TCI and froze its assets. In February 2009, the founder of OLINT was arrested in Turks and Caicos and charged with forgery, false accounting, and theft.

Conflicts Of Interest Among Parliamentarians
By David P Rowe Esq.
I have raised the issue of Senatorial Conflict of Interest in Jamaica germane to the extradition of Christopher Coke. It has proven to be an emotive topic. At the time of writing the Government of Jamaica has received an Extradition request for Christopher Coke, to which it has not officially acceded. I was invited to comment on the issue in my academic capacity by the BBC and the Breakfast Club a prominent local Jamaican radio talk show.
Most Commonwealth jurisdictions have become very serious about the elimination of parliamentary Conflicts of Interest by legislatively forbidding them. Canada has a Conflicts of Interest Act to "help public officer holders avoid conflicts of interest"
A Conflict of Interest in the Parliamentary situation may be defined as a situation in which parlimentarians have an actual or potential interest that may influence or appear to influence the conduct of their official duties. Earlier this year the Canadian Defence Minister Peter McKay was asked to explain the conflict of interest that arose when he was a director of two family forestry companies while serving in the Federal Canadian Government. McKay resigned these two private directorships because he could not serve " two masters".
In 2007 in the United States President Bush was severely criticized after receiving 2 million dollars in presidential campaign funds from Enron and then changing US energy policy to suit and benefit Enron.
Conflicts of Interest may lead to politicians using their influence to make decisions that compromise the public interest.
In the United Kingdom in April of this year Lady Maddock was barred from participating on the investigative Parliamentary Committee on Standards in Public Life because she is married to a Liberal Democrat MP Sir Alan Beith. The potential conflict, i.e her husband being an MP was considered inappropriate.
Once a Parliamentarian has accepted a retainer from a major US criminal defendant, can he participate in policy discussions in Parliament which may directly concern his client? Should he make public comments concerning the bilateral partner in his client's extradition? It is respectfully submitted that this type of conduct potentially creates a Conflict of Interest which as in the McKay case should lead to resignation from the Parliament, specifically in this case the Jamaican Senate. Which of the two Masters should be served the major criminal defendant or the people of Jamaica?

US- JAMAICA RELATIONS BRITTLE
The recent refusal by the Golding administration to secure the arrest of Dudus Coke is actively destroying
the bi-lateral relationship between the US and Jamaica.
There is a possibility of the United States halting the processing of US visas both immigrant and non-immigrant visas while this crisis continues.That would not be an American over-reaction to what could only be described as very bad behaviour by the Jamaican Government.
Perhaps the the United States AID projects will be severely cut back.The USAID administration of Justice project has poured millions of dollars of direct aid into the Jamaican Government's coffers.This might get the message accross.
Probably an unscheduled visit by a US naval vessell into the port of Kingston might restore our senior legal officers to sanity and some sense of public responsibility.Edward Seaga built an impeccable relationship between the USA and Jamaica.Twenty years after his departure Bruce Golding has destroyed the relationship.There will be no version of the Rockefeller Committee in this
Golding administration.If The US cuts its diplomatic presence in Jamaica, I wonder what impact that would have on Kingston real estate values?
As most foreign affairs professionals will tell you bi-lateral relatinships are easier to destroy than to build.
