(Jamaica Gleaner) – Jamaica Prime Minister Bruce Golding has ordered the Attorney General to write to US law firm Manatt, Phelps and Phillips advising the company that it’s not authorised to represent the Jamaican Government.

Golding says the letter should also outline that local attorney Harold Brady is not a government consultant, neither does he have the authority to represent the government.

A contract between Brady and Manatt posted on the US Justice Department’s website indicates that Manatt through Brady was acting on behalf of the government in political and economic matters including treaties.

Brady has since said that aspect of the contract was a mistake, which has been corrected.

In the meantime, the Solicitor General Douglas Leys was yesterday expected to submit to the government a report from Brady regarding the alleged transaction involving Manatt, Phelps and Phillips.

Brady had been ordered to explain the aspect of the contract with Manatt claiming that he was acting on behalf of the Jamaican government.

On Wednesday, Minister of Information Daryl Vaz had said the report would help to determine what action will be taken in the matter.
