Statement from the Prime Minister of Jamaica, the Most Honourable Andrew Holness in response to your story regarding the UWI Campus in Antigua and Barbuda.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI reject this statement as false. At no time did I say or in any way insinuate that Jamaica is paying the bill of any other country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I am not in the habit of disclosing the collegial conversations between leaders, the implications of this false quote is far reaching and justifies my response. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The conversation between PM Browne and myself focused on the financial situation of UWI at the time and the need for all member countries to keep current with their obligations, and I also confirmed to PM Browne that Jamaica would support Antigua\u2019s bid for a campus. Jamaica fully supports Antigua and Barbuda having its own campus\u201d.<\/p>
