President of the People’s National Party, Mark Golding, has dispelled uncertainties about his nationality, by displaying a copy of his birth certificate during the leadership debate last night.

Mr. Golding took advantage of an opportunity to prove his ties to the country, when Jamaica Labour Party Leader Dr. Andrew Holness asked whether he was truly a Jamaican.

Dr. Holness was fielding a social media question about the economic and administrative implications of Jamaica transitioning into a republic.

In a rebuttal, Mr. Golding pulled out his birth certificate, stating that he was “indeed born ya” .

Last night’s staging was the final of three political debates ahead of the general election slated for September 3.
