The Private Sector Organization of Jamaica, headed by Mr. Metry Seaga, had a very interesting conversation with Vernon Derby. For those who missed the programme on the radio, here is a wonderful opportunity to listen to and share this conversation.
The points mentioned by Mr. Seaga should be discussed by the people and the political parties. We need to know the position of the political parties on these issues mentioned by Mr. Seaga. The next election cannot be just about the parties throwing curse words at each other.

One of my concern Is we keep putting the cart before the horse, the truth is we don't have a secure database system, neither one that is functioning properly, two recent case of wrong identity could have place innocent citizens into the lock up, had it been an ordinary citizens they probably would have been arrested falsely one is a Minister of Religion and Justice of the Peace who was in the Pulpit preaching the other was on a plane while he was issues a traffic ticket, this may seems irrelevant to some of us but for some it's the lost of a job, lost of valuable time etc, which gives me great cause for concerned for the ordinary citizens who will stand up for them,with all this happening what will prevent a innocent citizen finger print wrongfully been selected as the criminal in any matter and the time it will take to prove innocence, justice delayed is justice denied and we have too much of same in JA.
ReplyDeleteYou are assuming that these problems were caused by database problems. We don't know. It could be someone using a fake driver's license. The matters must be thoroughly investigated and citizens advised of the findings. If we don't know what is happening, then we will not have confidence in the system.
DeleteJamaican is standing in the most important period of her history. It is imperative that a collective decision be made as to how to move forward.
ReplyDeleteThere has been some progress in specific areas, but how far reaching are their impact? The economy is weak and fragile with much potential for growth. As stated in the interview, production is way below potential or even before the late 90s. Some suggestions were given but we need to look at other markets, as well as the needs of these markets. What about South and Central America? It is more difficult to enter such markets than it is to enter the North-American market? I have noticed that Jamaican products in other countries tend to be overpriced, putting them at a competitive disadvantage.
Thought I heard mention of persons coming here short term to train local employees but select employees could be sent abroad to upskill and retool as well. This can be done by forging partnerships with businesses with expertise in a given area companies would like to strengthen.
So many issues were mentioned. These need delving further into. If there was ever a time real change was possible; it's now.
