Violence Among Students Continue

Word out of Montego Bay is that there was a stabbing incident involving schoolgirls. We have not had any confirmation from the police about this matter. We do not know if any of the girls has died. If you were on the scene when this happened and/or you attended school with these girls, then contact Bark Di Trute by WhatsApp at 876 816-5261.

I am convinced that the only time we will get violence out of the schools is when parents are made accountable for the behaviour of their children. It is time that every child has a registered mother and father on their birth record.

Young criminals must be removed from our schools, and they should be treated as criminals. They should not be readmitted to a normal school until they have gone through a thorough socialization process and they no longer display such violent behaviour.

We should reintroduce caning. The fear of caning, while not a long-term solution it could immediately cauterize these antisocial behaviours.

When will we have some action rather than just hear some feel-good speeches?

Some People In Lime Tree, Trelawny, Lack Civic Pride

I must say thanks to the few Jamaicans who believe in law and order. They keep Bark Di Trute informed about what needs to be dealt with in our country. Our parish councillors are better paid these days, yet they show little interest in the environment. They turn a blind eye to people throwing garbage where they are not supposed to throw the garbage and place things on our roads.

Being a councillor is not just about winning votes. It is leading by example and helping to ensure that our little country is kept clean and beautiful, and there is a semblance of order in our communities.

Listen to this complaint from the Parish of Trelawny by clicking the icons below:

These are the building materials placed on the road in Lime Tree, Trelawny. We seem to have a different law for rural Jamaica. If the councillor is not seeing these things, then he is probably visually challenged.

Mayor Fagan, I wonder if this was brought to your attention and if the assistance of the police was sought to have the materials removed. The law should allow the municipality to take up these things. The council could then sell it or use it. The owners should compensate the municipality for the work done to bring back the area to its original state.

I do hope that people in other parts of the island will support the people of Trelawny.

That NaRRA Bill

The Hon. Senator, Dana Morris Dixon

The National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA) Bill, tabled in March 2026 and passed by the House of Representatives in April 2026, aims to accelerate infrastructure reconstruction following Hurricane Melissa. It establishes a single authority to fast-track procurement and development projects, reducing bureaucratic delays. Bark Di Trute hopes to get a copy of the bill soon.

Many Jamaicans are not aware of the importance or unimportance of this NaRRA Bill. We have been bombarded with cussing and tracing in Parliament, and we are still in the dark. The Hon. Senator Dana Morrison Dixon has published a document with questions and answers. I would love for the PNP to send out its information about this NaRRA, and those who do not feel obligated to any political party should put out information to help the people understand what is happening. This is what many would call wishful thinking.

Click Here to see the Hon. Senator Dr. Dana Morris Dixon's questions and answers on the NaRRA Bill.

US To Take Steps To Assist Stranded Ships In The Strait of Hormuz

Iran's closure of the channel—which is crucial to oil exports from the Gulf - has seen fuel prices rise globally and also left thousands of sailors stranded on some 2,000 ships trapped by the blockade. 

The United States says it will on Monday begin trying to free merchant ships stranded by Iran's closure of the key shipping channel, the Strait of Hormuz, since the start of the war. Will this have an effect on oil prices? Will this affect the current ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran? Only time will tell.

This war is affecting the whole world. Will the rest of the world stand by and suffer? Will other states in the Middle East continue to allow attacks from Iran? 

War is not pretty, and the outlook of tensions growing and the war intensifying is real.

New Caymanian Law Makes It Easier To Get Rid Of Public Servants

Reports out of the Cayman Islands are that parliament has changed its laws to make it easier to get rid of civil servants who have committed certain offences. A lower standard of proof is required under the new law. This came into effect on March 31, 2026.

Cayman Marl Road Media House says that disciplinary decisions will be made on the “balance of probabilities,” meaning management only needs to be satisfied that misconduct is more likely than not to have occurred.

Jamaica needs to have a look at this Caymanian law, which I am sure could benefit this country. We are aware of non-performing departments, which would mean that these places are staffed with poorly performing public servants. We hear talk about the procurement system slowing down the process of implementing government programmes. Greater accountability from public servants could make a big difference.

This means that department heads and management must ensure that there is accountability. There is the feeling among many that many public servants are sabotaging the government.

One thing is certain, and that is the public sector needs a shakeup. The government is probably scared of dealing with the union!
