KINGSTON, Jamaica, July 29, CMC – Former prime minister Bruce Golding is expected leave Jamaica on Sunday for medical treatment in the United States.
Golding, who stepped down from office last year ahead of last December  general elections, recently had back surgery. However, a second procedure was performed following some complications and sources Golding, 64, is due to travel to Florida where he will undergo tests and possibly more surgery next week.
The main opposition Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), which Golding previously headed, expected to issue a statement on the matter later on Sunday.
