I note with interest the statement made by Mr. Dennis Meadows a former Senator about the state of affair at the Firearm Licensing Authority (FLA). Obviously he is concerned about the possible cases of corruption at this government entity. I have been made aware recently, that I have had some influence on Mr. Meadows when he was a youngster. I hope that influence has impacted his adult life and his roll in this imbroglio is an honourable one. I have had information from persons connected to the (FLA) and things are not sounding good at all.
I have said before that getting a firearm license legally in Jamaica seems to be a money thing and a big man thing. Those who seem to have good intentions and who want to help in dealing with the state of crime in this country, have a difficult time getting a gun license.
It is difficult to do well in Jamaica and to get things done but it seems to me that man with

money will go places. Let us not fool ourselves into believing that this is a political party thing, because it is a national problem which needs national solutions now. Corruption is not a government problem in Jamaica, it is indeed a national problem!
Think about it, any gun man can get guns easily in this country and they are well armed. It is decent Jamaicans who are generally unarmed and cannot get a gun to protect themselves and others. Gangs and other social misfits all seem to be well armed. Corruption is now at all levels and it is time Jamaicans stand up and say enough is enough! If you doubt me, just think about the various constructions going up in Kingston and find out how many of these construction sites are in breach.
Mark my word again, when criminals have more guns than decent people and the state cannot deal with the matter decisively, then it is just a matter of time before they will capture Gordon House. It shall come like Nicodemus in the night and then the cry shall be, "How did we get here?"
Over to you Prime Minister Holness. Remember that Mark Golding is not a challenge to you, it is the situation in the country which is a challenge to all of us! Prime Minister the time to act decisively against corruption is NOW! My first suggestion to you Mr. PM is that any government official who is involved in any corrupt action should get at least 15 years incarceration after conviction.
Jamaica is in deep....!

I would love to get some other suggestions.
corruption is everywhere and as long as yiu can drop some .only.. you in business with these evil people that run this place.. Henry Morgan country
Wow!How credible is Meadows,I think Mr Dalling is a credible person trying his best to rid the organization (FLA) of endemic corruption.
If the FLA is issuing Gun licences to "criminals" that is a greater threat to National Security than the criminal illegal gunbags and gunmen.
I wish the FLA well for Jamaica's sake.
Corruption in one form or another seems to ba a constant... FLA should be justifying why a decent citizen is not being granted a license. We are at the mercy of the criminals! Some government agencies are stumbling blocks
The difficulty in getting anything done in the government service is what fuels corruption . From the motor vehicle examiner to building permit and gun licence. You have to pay someone to remove the red tape. Time to free up the country and loose the red tape.
The problem is this! Are there enough decent people with morals in Jamaica, to stand up to the level of corruption in the society, I don’t think so.
All who mix up in the corruption should go a prison the laws is for everyone once you break the laws and you find guilty it does not matter who you are prison you fe go
Yes there are but good people must unit and work together. It is not just a matter of blaming the government and leave it at that. You can start by sharing this post to as many persons as possible and have them add their comments.
Very true!!
This is a very frightening situation, demanding somethinglikethe FINSAC commission!! They must go through the records for the past 20 years and check out questionable licenses. All those boards members who approved questionable licenses or overturned those previously denied should be called to a public accounting. Boards are required to be governed by persons with intelligence ... none of the board members càn be considered Incompetent, therefore I càn only conclude that they knew full well what they were doing.
Too many licky licky people in high places!
Think of the innocent lives snuffed out. The Executives of corruption
deserve a stretch in Tamarind Farm prison!
we cant expect integrity from our leaders when the society which groom then from their youth has no proper values and attitudes, we lack moral values, gloryfy voilence,lack the ability to obey rules and regulations etc, falure to address these issues we'll be going no where as a people.
Here are two statements that came to my mind after reading the post..... (a) The Government is fighting crime and corruption. (b) the Government is creating corruption and crime.
Can both statements be true? I guess so. Statements (a) and (b) are under the governance of a Cabinet led by a Prime Minister. The ultimate responsibility rests in those hands. The Ministers report to him. What is their role? What is the role of the Permanent Secretary? What is the role of the Boards that report to the Minister? What is the role of the CEOs that report to the Boards. What is the system of accountability in place? Is anyone being held accountable? If not, why not?
Or is divine intervention the only solution. Or is the tail wagging the dog... again?
We live by the gun we die by the gun,Capt Morgan is smiling in his grave know matter how fast you are, someone is faster than you (draw)
Start a military draft from the age of sixteen,all races rich and poor, white, Chinese, Black indians etc.send to them to military camp for three months, whomever survived gets free scholarships of their choice,we have to save the soul of our country (our young)a country without a people with out a nation that they can call their own is a people without a Soul.
