Wow! The new house of Parliament will cost the Jamaican tax payer$50,000,000 US. This is just amazing. So out of the blue them find $7.5 Billion dollars to build the house of Parliament. Yet whenever the citizens of this country should get a raise. Them find every excuse in book to tell you that they just do not have it ,and it is very surprising to hear some of our media professional, saying government just do not have it. What a shame to under pay our hard working workers. I know that some of our , teacher's are still waiting on the final settlement and I pray and hope that the Doctor's are now settle also. There is something that is totally wrong with the mental faculty of our parliamentarians in.
