Mother of Slain Teenager Khajeel Mais to Run For PNP
Allana Mais, the mother of slain Kingston College student Khajeel Mais student will reportedly contest the Norbrook division on a People’s National Party (PNP) ticket in the upcoming local government elections.
On Sunday, she was accompanied on stage by PNP President Portia Simpson Miller at the Jamaica Conference Centre in downtown Kingston.
Norbrook has historically favoured the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), but Mais believes she has a solid chance of winning.
Mais died on July 1, 2011 after a taxi he was travelling in was shot up.
Lawmen at the time alleged that the shooting was done by Powell after the taxi bumped into his BMW X6.
Powell was eventually found not guilty in court after the driver of the taxi said he did not see who fired into his vehicle.
Mais was 17 years of age at the time of his death.
