Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) officials yesterday confirmed reports that its leader and former prime minister, Bruce Golding left the island to seek medical treatment for a back problem.
Reports indicate that Mr. Golding has been ailing with the problem for years; however the problem has worsened in the last two months. He has already had two corrective surgeries and may undergo a third operation in Florida.
In a brief statement put out by the JLP communications team yesterday, the party wished the former leader a speedy recovery and promised to update the public on new developments.
Mr. Golding quit as party leader and prime minister last November, a year premature of his five-year administration, after a long extradition debacle involving convicted Tivoli Gardens’ don, Christopher “Dudus” Coke.
Golding has maintained a low profile since demitting office.
