Auditor General Findings
 |
| Pamela Munroe-Ellis. |
Based on the recent auditor general's findings at Gordon House, some officers need to pack their bags and go. Unless the Auditor General's report is false.
How can one sign a contract after most of the work has been completed? Let's hope we hear the cacophony of voices calling for some officers to pack their bags and go.
I wonder how much the Auditor General gets for writing these reports. What changes have been implemented as a result of these reports? How many people have had to pack their packs and go home?
Auditor General Pamela Munroe-Ellis should be recognised as a national hero for writing these reports, which apparently go to file 13.
I am sure that if the PM or the Leader of the Opposition were involved in any of these irregularities, we would be calling for them to resign.
Integrity Commission
Has the Integrity Commission ever been audited by the Auditor General? Fire Brand MP Everald Warmington has asked that question before, and I don't believe it has been answered.
The Maroons
 |
| Chief Curry Favour |
I have been told that the Maroons signed a treaty with the British to capture and return slaves who had run away. Slavery has been abolished; there are no slaves to return to the British. That treaty must have gone with the wind like other colonial matters. How are we going to get rid of the king as head of state for Jamaica, but still keep the British treaty between the Maroons and the British?
Are we seeking reparation from the Maroons and also an apology from them for selling their Black brothers and sisters back into slavery?
It seems like this reparation and apology is a 'curry favour' business.
Road Accidents Not Due To Speeding
Can someone tell Dr Lucien Jones that the mayhem that results in numerous deaths on our roads is not due to speeding? The cause is indiscipline. I get the impression that police officers are busy charging drivers for speeding and not for the high level of indiscipline on our roads. They would definitely collect more taxes that way.
Have you seen any improvements in how our drivers use the thoroughfare since the increase in fines and tickets being issued?
I just received a report that a woman was killed and others were injured in a motor vehicle crash that happened at Braco in Trelawny. I was not able to confirm when this happened. It is sad that we have to rely on social media reports these days.

The Real Thieves and The Real Fools
For possibly over 15 years, I have been talking about bank changes and dormant accounts. I have appealed to the banks to allow customers to add persons as contacts to their bank account so that if the customer suffers from dementia and forgets about their account, the bank can make contact with the persons who are listed on the account as contacts.
No action has been taken on the suggestion, and therefore, millions of dollars in dormant funds go to the banks and to the government. If they are stealing money from accounts that are still active, I can just imagine how they are having a great time with the dormant accounts.
Funds in the bank for someone who cannot be located should go to their estate. Take my word, that will never happen in Jamaica because somebody wants a piece of the pie, and customers just sit down and teck wi dem get.

ReplyDeleteFor possibly over 15 years, ...I have appealed to the banks to allow customers to add persons as contacts to their bank account so that if the customer suffers from dementia...or any other disability...
I agree!
Some Currir favour fi true back then it was 30shillings bounty for every slave caught and returned.
ReplyDeleteWill the Maroons now ask to be a de factor British Overseas Territory(BOT) like BERMUDA or CAYMAN if JAMAICA cannot get BOT status.
Instead of pushing for being some God Forbidden Republic a BOT from the socioeconomic evidence would make more sense.
Bermuda and Cayman are among the most prosperous on planet earth.
Jamaica on the other hand is the second poorest country in the Caribbean and 3rd most murderous 49/100,000 per capita on planet earth should be concentrating on making Jamaica more prosperously productive,less murderous, more literate and civilized.
Republic Idea must go beyond a Kingston centric centralized potentially impoverishing style and fashion.
This is what happens when person are appointed base on who they, years of service and not competence. As a government staff i have seen it countless of times. Persons being employed just because they know someone and want to give their friend a job. It also happens in the private sector. It just sad!
ReplyDeleteThe Maroons were the ones who gave up Paul Bogle. At that time, slavery had been abolished some 27 years prior. They acted on the basis of an expired treaty Now we celebrate Paul Bogle as a national hero. I wonder if present-day Maroons celebrate Paul Bogle? Based on their past behaviour, it seems the Maroons are more loyal to their treaty than they are to their own country. They have even voiced a desire to secede. They do not and have never had Jamaica's interest at heart. They want the benefit of being Jamaicans but care very little about loyalty to state.
ReplyDeleteA few comments. Management should ensure that the findings of the AG are addressed. Hold them accountable and you will see how fast everything works well.
ReplyDeleteOn the maroon, whenever a treaty is signed you never get every thing you want. anu times unpleasant things will be accepted on both sides. FINALLY, to all questioning the Maroons, here is a question. At the time of the maroon resistance, did field and house slaves fight with the plantation owners and the British soldiers? RESEARCH dat, den talk again. That discovery may lead you to understand the Treaty a little better.
The Clerk of the House must act and act now.
DeleteThese are very good points - that do bring some perspective. We do need more context and conversations on the matter of the Maroons and yes, the implications of Jamaica becoming a Republic.
