Mandeville Mayor, Donovan Mitchell has hit back at calls for him to resign.
Member of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP’s) Communication Task Force, Marlon Morgan made the call last Friday, following a comment Mayor Mitchell allegedly made during a recent meeting of the Manchester Municipal Corporation.
Morgan’s concern was that the comment appeared to support unexplained wealth.
In a statement this morning, Mayor Mitchell described the call for him to resign as desperate.
He also clarified that he did not offer support for scamming, nor did he intend to convey such a message.
Mayor Mitchell noted that it was ironic that the governing JLP has called for his resignation after recently stating that it would not aggressively pursue an unexplained wealth orders regime.
