Speaker of the House of Representatives Marisa Dalrymple Philibert says that embattled Westmoreland Central Member of Parliament George Wright will not be allowed to sit with the Jamaica Labour Party Government caucus in Gordon House.
In a joint statement from women in parliament on violence against women this afternoon, Dalrymple Philibert said that Wright was no longer under government control.
She confirmed reports that Wright had proceeded on leave of absence from Parliament but did not provide details as to why he had requested it.
Wright has found himself in a whirlwind of controversy ever since a video surfaced alleging that he physically abused a woman.
