If I had any doubt about the level of hypocrisy that exists in this country, then that doubt has been completely obliterated. The deafening silence this week after the damage done to several buses is an indication of that hypocrisy. We still have the Jamaica Council of Churches, the NIA, Jamaica For Justice, the PSOJ, the Citizens Associations, the trade unions, and others still existing in Jamaica?
I believe that the horrible transportation system our children have had to contend with for many years has been the breeding ground for crime and our children adopting crude behaviour.
The best thing to have happened to Jamaica for a long time is the setting up of a school bus system and the purchase of additional buses for the public transportation sector. The people of this country will be better off from this.
This is not the first article I have posted about the transportation sector, and it has not attracted much attention. Is it because we are all more concerned about driving our own cars and not concerned about those who take the bus? We need the railway system, and we need more buses on our roads. That will ease the traffic challenges, help workers to be more productive and children to be more receptive to what they are taught in school.
The government must act now to protect the people's buses and not bow to the pressure of thugs. Under no condition should we stop the buses from going into certain areas and make these criminals feel that they have won this round. Have armed police officers in plain clothes on these buses. Have teams of Emergency Alert Security bike riders who can reach an area in minutes if a bus is attacked. Call for volunteers to work as inspectors on the buses to monitor what is happening.
We must not bow to criminals. Crime pays in this country, and the criminals want the crime to continue. Note that there are those in jacket and tie positions who benefit from the crime, and they want the status to remain. The government must get those buses back on all the routes. Put systems in place so that the first bus that is touched, the guilty one, will pay dearly for it. We have a government in charge to protect the interests of the people. If you abdicate your responsibility now, then the people might confirm it in a few months.
A well-organised and efficient transportation sector across the country will be the push start to get the economy doing well. We need goods and people to be transported on time in a cost-effective way.

ReplyDeleteWell said 👏 I have come to realize majority of us have mental issues. We make some very bad choices expecting good outcomes.
ReplyDeleteThe relevant authorities must go into the communities to find out what protest stoning is all about.
ReplyDeleteGetbto the bottom of it so communities and authorities could find mutually productive longterm way forward.
MPs,Councillors,church,police and social workers need to sit down and find a mutually productive and beneficial way forward.
Stoning can go even further to fighting or even shootings.
What if powerful miscreants/criminals/Dons prohibit community members from taking of those busses.
If you break the order life,limb and limb could be at risk.
Think on these things and be proactive.
I totally agree tbat this problem of damaging the buses needs urgent pointed action to protect them. It is regrettable too at the deafening silence on the usually loud organization who would want the people of Jamaica to think they are above board and bias in their utterances, namely PSOJ, Jamaica Council of Churches, NIA, Jamaica for Justice etc.
