Jamaican gov’t minister Matthew Samuda renounces British citizenship

Jamaican Senator and Government Minister Matthew Samuda has announced that he has begun the process of renouncing his British citizenship, which he acquired at birth.

In a statement released today, Samuda said: “I am advanced in the process of renouncing my British citizenship which I acquired at birth. I voluntarily took the decision to retain Jamaican citizenship only and renounce British citizenship after having carefully listened to recent public discourse concerning the issue of dual citizenship. I had begun the process of renunciation prior to today by completing relevant forms. In response to public enquiries, I wish to make my decision to renounce clear. I’d strongly advise the Opposition Leader to take a similar course of action.”
