The Universal Service Fund (USF) is dismissing claims that a member of its staff is in representational politics.
The state agency says Delroy Dobney, who is the Jamaica Labour Party’s candidate in Southern St Catherine, is no longer employed by the entity, having resigned in July.

It is encouraging individuals to exercise due diligence and conduct the necessary research prior to making public pronouncements.
