Passa Passa is a weekly street party originating in Kingston, Jamaica.

According to Jamaica Hub, West Kingston Police have denied promoters, hopeful of hosting a dance in Tivoli Gardens to celebrate the birthday of former don Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke, the permit to do so.

The dance was planned for this weekend, but the promoters’ application for a permit was flatly rejected by high ranking cops in the division.

The cops communicated their disapproval of the hosting of any dance of that nature in the community during a meeting at the Denham Town Station earlier this week.

The promoters were hoping to keep the dance in an area known as ‘Top Ten’ which was once a stomping ground of Coke.

Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke’s birthday is March 13.

Former Prime Minister Bruce Golding testifies during Tivoli Enquiry trial in Jamaica.

Bruce Golding has testified that he is not afraid of Christopher ‘Dudus ‘ Coke and that he wasn’t under a code of silence.

“Mr Golding, were you afraid of Dudus?” Linton Gordon, who is representing the JDF asked.

“No, I wasn’t,” Golding responded.

He was also asked by Gordon if he was under a code of silence and “that you cannot speak freely”, but Golding said, “No sir, I was just giving context”.

Gordon asked Golding about a code of silence because of his long, winding response to a question about garrison politics and his reference to Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller’s South West St Andrew constituency. Golding said too that Coke was “very dominant in the west Kingston constituency when he (Golding) became member of Parliament there.
