Jamaicans Need To Take A Stand Now

The JLP is celebrating its third term in government, and the PNP its third term in opposition. Today is the anniversary of one party winning its third term and the opposition party losing national elections for the third time.

Our attention should not be just on which party wins or loses, but on what the country is gaining. Jamaica's main challenge is indisciplined behaviour among its people and the general lack of order in society.

We see the problem in our homes, our schools, our roads, and society. The proliferation of squatting and illegally constructed buildings, with garbage being strewn everywhere and anywhere. These are matters that have to be targeted.

Leaders of the various institutions, such as schools and other government entities, have a role to play. Many of these leaders are the living dead. Many church leaders are also weak and ineffective. That reminds me of the position of one church group on the Coopers Pen removal of squatters.

We cannot have prosperity where indiscipline and disorder reign. Some of us need to take a stand now! If we deal decisively with the indiscipline and disorder, there will be fewer murders and deaths on our roads, and productivity will improve. 

I would love to know what you think. Add your comments at the bottom of the blog.

Lime Tree, In Trelawny - Illegal Buildings, Garages And Stealing Of Electricity

It is not just crime that has spiralled out of control over the years in Jamaica, but also the development of unplanned communities across the island.

With GPS, every house can be located and identified across the island. Using the ElandJamaica system, we should be able to identify the owners of these buildings and confirm if these buildings have been approved by the parish councils. It seems that the parish councils are helpless in dealing with the challenge.

We should also be able to identify all squatter settlements in the country. There is also a Squatter Management Unit in government. I wonder what they do.

In these communities that are just developing on their own, I understand that people build what and how they want. Areas are transformed into garages, and the benefit of these places is that many people do not pay for electricity. Other JPSCo customers pay their bills, and they do have a grand time using the electricity twenty-four-seven.

It was reported that there are many wires that are connected to JPSCo high-tension wires that are running on the ground. This is in Lime Tree, in Southern Trelawny. If nothing is done about this matter soon, then expect a death or deaths soon from electrocution in Lime Tree.  

I tried to get the GPS location of the place, and I got this: 18° 14' 30.33" N 77° 29' 44.89" W. The pictures below show some of the vehicles on the property.

Note also that about 200 yards south, heading towards Christiana, there is a trailer which was left at the side of the road with a part protruding onto the road. 

The picture of the trailer is shown below.

We are transforming Jamaica into one big dump. Soon we shall say goodbye to tourism. Tourists no longer visit those areas, as far as I know.

Weather

It will be another hot day tomorrow, but we might get rain in the afternoon.

What's Happening - September 2, 2026

Garbage On Molynes Road

 

Why are people allowed to dump their garbage at this bus stop on Molynes Rd. This is the bus stop for Tarrant High School children.

**************************

Leaking Pipes In Bushy Park

Message from a resident:

Water is supplied to the Community of Vineyard in Bushy Park, St. Catherine by Dynamic Environmental Limited. There has been a leak between 137 and 138 Passion Drive for about 2  months now. Apart from the reports that were made before a report was made to the office on Tuesday September 1 by calling 876 906 4172. I called again on Wednesday September 2, said phone number 876 906 4172 only to find out that the report was not logged so I provided the information again. This time I asked for and provided with the name at the other end and the whatsapp number.

Editor's Note 

I assume that the water restrictions in effect now should apply to private water providers. They should ensure that leaks are dealt with expeditiously.

**************************

Killings In Nain

Bark Di Trute just got information that two boys killed a taxi driver in Nain in St. Elizabeth. Police were early on the scene, and the two killers lost their lives.

Andrea Purkiss, PNP Spokesperson on Tourism and Linkages, Makes Impossible Demands

 

Andrea Purkiss.

On September 1, 2026, the following was reported in the Gleaner. "In a release on Tuesday, the spokesperson on Tourism and Linkages, Andrea Purkiss, who is also a member of parliament for East Hanover, argued that something has to be done to address the issue, citing recent spikes in air travel, including from relatively close destinations such as Florida in the United States."

Spokesperson Andrea Purkiss should state what is to be done. If Air Jamaica were still operational and government-run, the government could address airfares. I have written several articles about how we destroyed Air Jamaica, but I have not heard any of our leaders comment on the issue.

Do we expect the government to tell the airlines to reduce airfares? We really need to have our heads examined. We are aware that the US vs. Iran war is going on, and the lack of free access to the Hormuz Strait has caused fuel prices to skyrocket.

Jamaicans overseas who complain about the high airfares can talk to the management of the airlines. They also need to ask why Air Jamaica is still not flying and not buy the argument that it was not profitable. It was profitable for those who nyam out di airline. Oh yes, those quadruped, gluttonous creatures were busy in the trough until the trough was empty.

Our people must understand the challenges, so when you see fake information in social or traditional media, you can say, "Rubbish." 

We need to engage our brains before we put our mouths into gear.

Some stories on Air Jamaica

How We Destroyed Our National Airline—Part I

How We Destroyed Our National Airline—Part II

How We Destroyed Our National Airline—Part III

How We Destroyed Our National Airline—Part IV

How We Destroyed Our National Airline—Part V

Note: More articles will be written about the crash of Air Jamaica.
