What's Happening - February 2, 2025

No Jamaicans Died in the Plane Crash

Ambassador Audrey Marks, OJ


Messages have been circulating that at least two Jamaicans have died in the helicopter and plane crash in the Potomac River recently. A post from Ambassador Audrey Marks refutes that information. Click Here to see Ambassador Marks' statement. Ambassador Audrey Marks is Jamaica's Ambassador to the United States of America. 

International Singer Keith Lyn, Very Ill

Keith Lyn


The former international Jamaican-born lead singer for the Bryon Lee Band, who has been living in the US for some time now, Keith Lyn, is seriously ill. A singer and a recording artiste, he attended St. George's College in Kingston, Jamaica.

Keith Lyn left Jamaica in 1978, at the height of what some would call a civil war, to the United States of America. He never stopped calling Jamaica his home, though.

He set up his own one-man band, and he did work for the Jamaica Tourist Board and the American Society of Travel Agents.

Management and Some Workers Do Not Care While A Few are Working 

Over the past forty years, I have had to deal with people in both the private and public sectors who are just collecting taxpayers' money. This is a form of corruption and illicit enrichment. Getting funds under false pretense. Many in management are for ever in a meeting.

They are great pretenders to those who can help them to move ahead, but they are not enabling the organization to move ahead. There are some outstanding people, such as some management and staff members at the JPS. Yes, I know we cuss them a lot but I believe they really try. Ann Bolt at the NWC, goes beyond the call of duty to get things done. The RGD, PICA, CAC and the National Health Fund continue to do well. 

On the other hand, in the private sector and the public sector, more emphasis must be placed on giving excellent customer service. Sometimes we place more emphasis on promoting how good we are as an organization rather than giving good customer service. We need to name these non-performers. Just give me some more time. I invite the members of the public to note those who give poor customer service and are just rude to customers.

Let me start with the first one. I am still waiting to hear from Ms Lorie Edwards regarding the redrawal of a US consumer product. She is a senior person at the Compliance and Regulatory Authority. There is Mr. Stephen Shaw at the NSWMA who is so powerful that he decides who can interview him or not. 

Ineffective public servants should pack your bags and go. Mr. Prime Minister, it is not just how hard you and your team work, but how effective the public sector is. Sometimes when the government seems as if it is not performing, it is a few of these public servants who are asleep on the job more than they are awake. I remember a public servant saying to me that politicians come and go, but they are there to stay!
