Who Really Run Things in Jamaican?

Who Really Run Things in Jamaican?
Yesterday October 03, 2005 the leader of the opposition Bruce Golding made a statement that still has me in disbelief. He was carried on television saying that within his constituency West Kingston there is peace for the areas that he controls however he could not speak for the areas controlled by Zeeks.
Donald “Zeeks” Phipps is the area leader otherwise known as ‘Don’ for Matthews Lane in West Kingston. He is facing two murder charges and is set to stand trial on October 24, 2005. He is also to face trial for the unlawful possession of $18 million dollars and abstraction of electricity on November 09, 2005. On November 15, 2005 he is once again to attend trial also charged with illegal possession of ammunition, unlawful possession of pharmaceuticals and possession of two pounds on ganga. Zeeks was denied bail on September 16, 2005 and is presently in prison.
All Jamaicans are aware of the controversial role played by the ‘Dons’ in some communities. However to have a potential leader of the nation concede to this publicly is frightening. If he cannot control one constituency how can he expect to control the nation?
