Well it's over, for Colin Campbell that is, or is it? He has become the first casualty of this nasty Trafigura Beheer/PNP contribution/commercial arrangement, depending on who's telling the story.

But has the governing PNP done enough by getting rid of Campbell? What of the other party functionaries who met with Trafigura Beheer in August? What of the Chairman of the party and Deputy Prime Minister, Robert Pickersgill, shouldn't he go too?

And while we're calling for heads shouldn't Phillip Paulwell resign. Let's look at this for a minute, how did Campbell manage to have a meeting with Trafigura in the first place? Wouldn't that meeting have been set up by the portfolio minister, Paulwell?

And should the Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller resign and take her entire government with her over this matter?

Why has the Prime Minister stayed mum on the matter? How many other "contributions/ commercial arrangements " has the PNP and its functionaries been invloved in?

Can the PNP recover from this one?

Campbell's resignation has raised more questions than answers and just points out yet again
that something is truly rotten in the state of Jamaica.
