| Dennis Chung |
I have been getting calls about Dennis Chung's life being threatened because of his appointment to head the Financial Investigation Division. I have also received credible information that there has been no direct threat made, but based on comments made on social media and in other places, Mr. Chung and his family should take nothing for granted. More than likely, the government will provide protection for Mr. Chung.
It is election time - the JLP is campaigning, and so is the PNP. One thing we should be happy about is that the people are peaceful. The cruel and wicked behaviour of Jamaicans in the 1980 elections is now history. We should never forget that it was reported that we murdered approximately 800 persons during the highly politically charged period at that time.
Those of us in the media, civil society, and elsewhere are creating a storm in a teacup. The government has the right to appoint boards supporting its policies, and for boards and commissions to appoint heads of organizations who are compatible with the policies of the ruling party. They have the Services Commission and others to guide the process. It should be clear that no elected government will put persons in sensitive government positions who do not subscribe to the policies of the government.
The opposition is seeking political power, and it is their right to criticize the government's policies and to convince the people that they will do a better job.
Any politician in the world who appoints people who will frustrate their work is committing political suicide. Our concerns should be whether or not governments appoint competent persons to leadership positions. If they appoint incompetent leaders, then we should get off our bottoms and vote them out.
The political campaign is on. Let the politicians campaign, and the rest of us continue to work and earn a living in these difficult times. Our concern should be the crime, the economic stability of Jamaica, and the ability of the state to give us equal opportunity to live, work, do business, and live a good life.

This too will pass another day in the political life of the Jamaican Livitzens
ReplyDeleteDennis Chung is an outstanding Citizen of Jamaica. He has and will continue to make outstanding contribution to our country.
ReplyDeleteI whole heartedly concur
DeleteI wish the PNP would change their tactics. I am really tired of their cass-cass politics. They seem to want to claw their way to power through cass-cass, tear down politics.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I agree with you. Bruce Golding kept the remnants of civil servants from the previous administration and he paid for it. Anyway, Mr. Chung was appointed by the OSC and I presume that he went through a competitive recruitment process.
Well we see seeing where only hiring ppl who will carry out party policies is getting the US. Ppl should be hired for technical competence not subservience and technocrats should be free to disagree with poor policy. Failure to speak up gets us to the situations like Fort Rocky and the ridiculous sitiation of our transport system
