Others have offered their prayers and to all I am deeply grateful. And here I want to personally thank the wide cross section of persons who took the trouble to write to me, not all complimentary but all expressing the deep anguish that they experienced over what had transpired. I should not have been surprised because I had raised the bar as to what they should expect of me and what has transpired has fallen short of their expectations.
Several persons and organizations have expressed their disappointment. The way in which this matter has been handled has raised the question of trust. In hindsight, the party should never have become involved in the way that it did and I should never have allowed it but I must accept responsibility for it and express my remorse to the nation. I regret the entire affair and it has been deeply painful for me, members of my family and you who have been hurt and disappointed.
I have asked God to guide me in my response and the decisions I must make. I respect the views of those who feel that, in the circumstances, I should step aside. I thank those who have expressed their support and have urged me to find a way to deal with these matters and to put them behind. I have also consulted with my Cabinet and parliamentary members, the party organization and various civil society groups. I have listened very carefully to the views expressed by members of the public. My fellow Jamaicans.I have spent the last several days in deep contemplation about the issues that have caused so much anxiety throughout the society including the reaction to my statement in Parliament last Tuesday and the events and circumstances that led up to it. The following is the speech of the address made by the Prime Minister of Jamaica, Bruce Golding on at 8:30PM it lasted for 15 minutes.
