HIGHGATE, St Mary Opposition spokesman on national security Peter Bunting wants alleged drug kingpin Christopher 'Dudus' Coke, who is now in a federal prison in the United States, to spill the beans on all his cronies in the criminal underworld.

Bunting said Coke's extradition is not the end of the story for criminals and their illegal activities and that if Coke decides to come clean and tell all about his affiliation with the criminal network, it could be the beginning of something new.

"Many persons think that this will be the beginning of another episode if he decides to come clean, and we hope that is what he will do so we can have not just one individual apprehended, but we can have a general housing," Bunting said.

"All those who were his co-conspirators, all those who were his collaborators, they should be hopefully feeling very insecure now and that the due process of law will eventually catch up with them as well."

Bunting said now that Coke has been extradited, the country can begin to move forward. He is, however, maintaining that the entire issue surrounding Coke's extradition was handled shabbily and that Prime Minister Bruce Golding and Justice Minister Dorothy Lightbourne should be held fully responsible.

Bunting made the comment while speaking to reporters at a National Executive Council (NEC) post-press conference at St Mary High school yesterday, where reporters were barred from recording the party leader Portia Simpson Miller's address.

Reporters were told that Simpson Miller took a last-minute decision not to allow the recording of her presentation as she wanted to speak directly to members of the NEC with whom she has not had an opportunity to speak directly since April.

In the meantime, Bunting said the party has made it clear that its decision to support the continuation and extension of the State of Emergency was only for 30 days and that it should not be considered automatic when the renewal comes up.

He said this was done to allow the security forces to complete the operation which they had started in West Kingston.
