His ever-popular and often controversial talk show dominated the mid-morning to early afternoon airwaves on several radio stations over the years, and from 2002 to the present it was known as Perkins on Line, hosted on Power 106FM.

In a statement issued late last night, Henry said: “In light of the ongoing attacks on the Jamaica Development Infrastructure Programme (JDIP), which continue despite the Prime Minister and I having acted to address the issue, as the line minister, I take full responsibility for the issues which have arisen, and today tendered my resignation as Minister of Transport and Works with immediate effect.” He added: “There is nothing to hide about my stewardship of the JDIP, which is very important to the country, and I look forward to the conclusion of the ongoing investigations.”

Henry also highlighted that he has not resigned as the Member of Parliament for Central Clarendon, and said he will now be focusing more of his energy on his constituency at this time.

A statement was issued today by the Jamaica Labour Party (through Minister of Information, Daryl Vaz), which included the following:

“Golding said he had planned to lead the party into a second term of government and demit office within two years thereafter. He said the challenges of the last four years have taken their toll and it was appropriate now to make way for new leadership to continue the programmes of economic recovery and transformation while mobilising the party for victory in the next general elections.”

The court heard that the defendant and complainant were involved in a heated argument over their child, which led the defendant to hit the complainant in the face. The impact of the ‘box’ caused the complainant’s nose to bleed, and there was also a swelling to the left side of her face.

In his defence, Brown told the court that he hit the complainant because she had not adjusted herself well as a mother, as she continued to attend street dances regularly, and neglected their child. Resident Magistrate Georgiana Fraser then told Brown that perhaps the complainant was not ready to be a mother. Brown reportedly replied, “a three pickney she have,” which caused some laughter in the court.

Brown’s bail was extended, and he is to return to court on March 15. Both Brown and the defendant were also ordered by the court to undergo counseling.

According to reports, prison officials introduced new hand held metal detectors that were able to alert them of the possibility of metal objects that were not visible to the naked eye. In these instances, the prisoners in question were taken to the Kingston Public Hospital, where doctors conducted searches and the mobile phones found hidden inside their vaginas.

According to reports, Martin had told his mother that he wanted to go to summer school. She reportedly told him that he would be going the next day. This is said to have angered the child who reportedly told his mother that he would kill himself if she did not let him go. His mother later found him hanging from a rope on their verandah.

The buttons, which are reportedly being sold for $200, feature two pictures of Coke, along with the words “I Love My People” at the top and “President Dudus” at the bottom. The “I Love My People” is apparently quoted from Coke himself, said just prior to his extradition.

Unconfirmed reports indicate also that matching t-shirts are being printed at this time, and will be available for purchase soon.

Reports indicate that King was among a group of people who were planting cane on an estate, when lightning struck at approximately 3 p.m. King was reportedly struck by the lightning, and was rushed to the Savanna-la-mar hospital where she later died.
